A dramatic Asmat war shield of monumental proportions. This is definitely one of the more interesting examples we have found in some time.

The top bears a classic Asmat ancestor head, as does the top and bottom of the lug handle on the reverse. Painted using natural pigments. Weathered patina in excellent condition. On the reverse attached to the Handle is an old collection label stating: \"W Asmat Shield, Monu Village, Artist: Beti\". Mid 20th Century
