Description

animal skin, brass,

The origin of these shields is disputed. According to sources from the 19th century, they were also used by the Omani and Bedouins in Saudi Arabia. However, due to sustained trade contacts, it is conceivable that they were made by the Oromo and then exported to the southern Arabian regions.
