Hello ,
yes it ''usually'' will work , if the leather is thick enough and still translucent. Just one more criteria, somebody can tell you that if you put a lightened torch behind your ear it will turn red too and we are not rhino's  ...

It has nothing in common with Ottoman materials, form
or construction. It is either N.Indian or Afghan, vers 1820-50 |

I would not rule out a tribal piece from the Caucuses. The Kev-Sur for example used iron bound hide bucklers, though theirs usually with a central boss.

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... |
