Hi Antoine

Nice shield. It should be noted however, this pattern of shield was used by several tribal groups in the Northern Kenya/Uganda and Southern Sudan area, as well as the Turkana. In fairly recent times an example made from scrap iron is also to be found.

A bit like the Zulu and Masai scenarios...
