Shield from the Bali Hai Supper Club
This mahogany shield, possibly of Philippine (Igorot) origin, is from the defunct Bali Hai Supper Club, formerly in St Paul, MN. It was purchased for the restaurant in 1948 and I purchased it in 2006.
On the front are two faces and there is a carved handle on the reverse side. The six holes in it were for the screws used to attach it to the wall of the restaurant.
Found in the Carving and Twin Cities Collections.
