Thanks. Based on the 4 bosses, do you think that it is Indian?

The whole shield screams Indian. Do you see any traces of gilding on the bosses? You'll want to search closely, under magnification.

The bosses appear to be either silver or more probably brass with a silver wash covering them; I did not want to polish them and lose the patina.
