Salaams Multumesc The shield of your friend is very rusty... It will continue to eat the item if left untreated. Once the rust has been reduced/removed I think the pattern will reveal its provenance. My first reaction would be to clean off the rust perhaps dropping it is coke cola for a week would help. Then there are plenty of other rust removers ...once cleaned I would like to see it re-photographed if you can please? My money would be on Indian? Persian? What are its dimensions please?
