Hello,

thank you for your comments !

North india and Afghanistan make me think of Balochistan and their shields.
I found this leather shield with the metal side but it's less raw than ''mine'' with his all iron structure...


The Khevsur people and their armor are really interesting,
I saw their small iron raw round dhal looking shield that made me think too that
''mine'' could come from some( where(?) ) in central Asia...

Another point: the leather; it seems all made of small hair-wool more than skin cells...
