Wink My ''Pizza'' Rhino Dhal with 6 bosses

Hello,

I'd like to share with you some pictures of my new dhal shield I just received.

It look like a calzone-pizza but it is really nice.
I think it's made with rhino leather because it's really thick ( 11mm ) and translucent.
( weight 2kgs for 42cm diameter ).
Nice ( original ? ) pads inside.

I think it's indian but don't know much about exact origin and age ;
19th century ? Earlier ?
( it was really dirty so I clean it gently, the bosses were really rusty before )
Comments welcomed.
Thank you !!
