Pair of Oceanic War Shields on Stands from Papua New Guinea
Located in Atlanta, GA
A pair of Papua New Guinea wooden shields on custom stands from the mid 20th century.

These shields are displayed upright on a custom black iron stand, with the tallest of the set standing at a height of over 5.5 ft tall. This pair of Papua New Guinea shields...
