    Shield Philippines Kalasag Warriors Shield Antique Rare. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
    The shield is an important implement of warfare of pre-colonial Filipino warriors. The general term for shield in the Philippines is “kalasag” but given the ethnic diversity of the country, it is also known by other names. In terms of materials, Philippine war shields come in three varieties: wood, metal and woven material. Rectangular shields with elaborate projections are more commonly associated with the highland tribes of northern Philippines. Besides warfare, the shield is also employed for ceremonial purposes like in the performance of war dances.
    This would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.
