Snatched this contemporary photo of a shield from an adventure tourism photo blog. I like the spear rather cool. Tourists quick hide the AKs.

This new shield makes up for the sword no longer fitting the scabbard. Antelope or goat skin. I believe that these shields were held with the ostrich feather pompom on the spike downwards, though perhaps that can be debated.
