Very rare, genuineTurkana shieldmade of hippo leather.I purchased this in 1985 in Maralal, Northern Kenya from a Turkana man who sold it as a family heirloom, so it's most likely much older.34.5" / 88 cm long. Very good condition! Good patina, no loose parts or torn leather, solid grip. Two holes for leather straps in the middle are empty, look as if they have never been used.
