Catalogue Note
La rareté des boucliers Mengen est à mettre en relation avec l'arrivée des missionnaires allemands, qui interdirent les expéditions guerrières. Dès lors, le décor évolua vers des ornements de danse dans un style éloigné de la tradition originale. Ce bouclier oblong, réalisé en bois léger, est orné sur ses deux faces de motifs sculptés et peints d'une riche polychromie. Les extrémités et la protubérance centrale sont décorées d'un tressage de joncs teints en rouge, tandis que la bordure est ligaturée de fibres. Pour des exemplaires comparables, voir Replica Shoes 's Paris, 30 novembre 2010, n°52 et Replica Shoes 's Paris, 8 juin 2007, n°202.
