And here again,with some more shields. I had read in an article from the American Jurnal of Archaeology that the facings of the dedicated shields were flatened.Perhaps these are two such examples.

OK,it seems it was the same shield i was remembering,but originally before restoration it must have had a bronze sheet under the triangles,as seen here

And an example of the other rim type,jointless,with a portion of the bowl covered. This is the most frequent type,but usually the rim is also highly decorated.
