content: Information from Leonid Lantsman, 2014: 19th C. dhal or shield from North India. This example is made of tanned, dried and oiled rhinocerous hide which makes the shield translucent and was considered the finest type of shield as it could withstand a heavy sword cut. This example is polychrome painted with gilded copper bosses, some dented now.
