ETHIOPIAN Shield for comments/info.

It is a most peculiar shield – and I can’t help you, as I know nothing about these shields, but it is likely that it is (kunst der verdediging) like you write. When it comes to which kind of hide was used, I think the hide specialists will ask you, if you, when you put a lamp into the shield, can see the light through the hide, and ask you to show a picture of it.

The shield is from the Oromo tribe.
