Hello Oliver,
thank you for comment. I don't think that the corpus is from hide, here a part of the description from the auction house: "Aceh, black lacquered brass circular shield, mounted with seven star shaped ornament."
Also when auction house descriptions sometimes inexact I think that they would be able to distinguish between hide and metal!?
Regards,
