Yes, I like the back too.
Never seen such a ridge where they carved it this way.

Here close up of the face. Note structure of the paint, Also note the structure of the wood near the eye. It is the same wood as which you see with good old Hudocq masks.

I wonder if there are other forumites who can add pictures of their shields
