All Perurise Teumaga are made of brass or bronze. One of rattan would be a peurise awe.
A Peurise is a small round Aceh shield. They are then divided by what they are made of.
Peurise Awe - Peurise made of rattan
Peurise Kajee - a Peurise made of wood
Peurise Nilo - a Peurise made of buffalo hide
Peurise Paru - a Peurise made of stingray
Peurise Teumaga - Peurise made of bronze or brass

Flavio thats a great example, congratulations. You may want to look in the book Blanke Wapen ( I will double check the spelling on that I may have it wrong ) or at the Collection in the KIT for more pictures of these.
