Also, some of the Neo-Assyrian reliefs show round shields in the form of a very flat cone. Maybe Sennacherib and Assurbanipal? Their shields look smooth from the outside but could be covered with hide or bronze, the insides usually have patterns on them.
There is a lot of room for projects reconstructing real wooden shields and wicker shields. They found a woven bark shield in Leicestershire! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/scien...27871.html

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
