Ancient Indian "pronged" Bucklers?

[Howard Fielding]

Shown in the WRG book on Macedonian and Punic wars, there is an Indian buckler with "prongs".  Duncan speculated that it was possibly used for weapon catching/breaking, IIRC.

I'm wondering if more information has come to light since publication.

Does anyone know of a name for this type of shield?

Are there online sources or pictures? Is there an example in a museum somewhere?

I just did a Google search but I guess my Google-Fu is weak at the moment. I can find pictures of the bell shaped Maurya shields, and Moghul shields, but not this more exotic form.

I think it might have been the one carried by the central figure on this relief from Amaravati - from here - though that is a bit smaller than I remember.

Thanks for the reply! It took me a while but I finally found a higher resolution image as part of a PDF.

A cropped version of the image attached.

I also had an interesting time browsing through stupa carved panels from various sites. And stumbled on a display walk-through from The Museum in Mumbai, about Indian small coastal craft and their construction.
