Look at the color of the backside, the way it is carved, the patina on the side of the shield and the design of the pattern.
Look at the carving of the head and compare with the good one.

Songye dance shields are very attractive with the mask on the center, but very very rare, and really expensive.
Here some other fake, you can buy them for 50€ on ebay or other sites.
