I have a copy of a journal.
The art of war: Wola shield designs
Paul Sillitoe
University of Manchester
Journ. Royal Anthropol. Inst. (MAN) 15
No. 3, 1980
I post the the most relevant pages. Here this type of shield is spelt "watumbiy" and I think the information will help us understand more what we see in this thread, unpainted but displaying heavy use.
