Twelve brass studs in the form of the domed rosettes fil space of the field. The outer edge is decorated with inlaid brass wire arrayed in repeated V shaped pattern. Four small brass rings attached to the concave reverse would have allowed rope or straps to be pulled through so that the shield could be worn over the forearm.

Klein Nagelvoort, Researcher and Author of the book “Toean Stammeshaus” gives some insight with his research on Aceh weapons. According to Stammeshaus the 7 stars are meant for military leaders or in the Aceh language Panglima’s and the version with 5 stars for regular warriors. If this is true is unknown but the 7 stars version seems at least as frequent as the 5 stars versions.   Item number: ES1265 Payment PayPal Shipping Track Page Views WithAuctiva's Counter
