Scudo - Konso - Etiopia (Senza Prezzo di Riserva)
Konso men from South Ethiopia or northern Kenya carried elongated leaf-shaped cowhide shields. The shields were embossed with intricate symmetrical patterns of stippled dots and lines. A thick fold along the midrib enhanced the shield's strength.
The swirling, curvilinear punchwork decoration on the shield in question is particularly elaborate. Its patina bears witness to its considerable age and extensive use.
Total height with stand 95 cm.
