Default Ethiopian ''dhal'' shield ??

Hello dear members,

Maybe in link with my other post about the african dagger,

I was today in a fleamarket and I found this old all waved leather shield 😁

I think/hope 19th century

Reasonable price so I bought it

Four iron bosses and eight smaller brass dots around.

For me it looks like an indian dhal shield ,
but the seller assured me that he took it back himself long time ago from Ethiopia...

What do you think ??

Kind regards
