I think that maybe these kind of holes are made during the making of the shield, to stretch the leather.

That is what I thought too, as these holes and the rim on the outside are not very decorative compared to all the other bumps and rims that are formed in the leather.

Very nice arusi shield by the way with all those repairs.
