19th C??

somebody described a similar one on internet as "reinforced Steel Rim with inner "scalloped" overlay for stopping arrows." Wouldn't the whole thing be used for stopping arrows?
Any insight into what part of India?? Tribe?

this is starting to rust ( i guess because I stored improperly) Should i be afraid to rub it with anything. Ok to take just clean cotton cloth and wipe at it a bit?
(sorry if i posted twice i'm quite sure i sent this one in but can't find it)

Salaams ~~ Can you show a photo please?...Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi
