That's a great find, thank you Ibrahiim! Rather far off what I was told buying it, but who knows with these things where the dating and location started and if that person was well studied or not. It does bear a striking resemblance, though the warping is not as bad, not to mention matching bosses. I'll start calling it my Indian shield! Since I bought it because I liked it I'm not at all bothered to find out it's probably something other than I though. It could have been a trade item I suppose and ended up in Sudan.
Very glad to have an answer, thank you!
