This is an old woven Azande Shield from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The African shield is coveted and paraded as a badge of honor in the same manner as the warriors spear. This woven shield was used offensively and defensively, the shield plays a vital part in African warfare. As far back as the 19th century the Azande people of the Congo were feared and successful warriors. The Azande warrior utilized the long oblong wickerwork shield on display for defense but it also most importantly served to conceal their perhaps deadliest weapon, the throwing knife. Shows age
