This cowhide shield was made in Kenya by a Maasai artisan, following traditional practices but was kept in a storage facility for some years during which it became rather "distressed". It maintains its character as an important part of the accessories of a Maasai warrior. We sell this shield on the stand on which it is photographed.

The shield measures 16 1/2 x 11 1/2″ (42 x 29 cm) Overall height on stand 21 1/2" (55 cm)
