[Peter B.]

Here are three pictures, the first one from A. C. Tirri - Islamic and Native weapons (2007, page 24) and the old one from Benitez & Barbier - Shields (2000, page 120). This photo is shown in conjunction with image 3, the same patterns can be seen, but the contour and the handle are different.
