[BCMA] Small shield

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi, everyone out there in Museum-land,

 

We have recently been offered this small shield with two metal spear tips
(photo below).

 

All the donor can tell us is that she is from Claresholm, AB and the shield
was displayed on the wall of a house on Columbia Lake where she grew up; the
spear tips were always with it. The shield is 33 cm long and the spear tips
are 24 cm, and one has a broken wooden shaft.

 

I'm wondering if anyone can help us identify it - and an appropriate home
for it?

 

Thanks!

 

Tammy
