Split Leaf Decoration Near Rim

The black and white image is a carved stone at Ghazna from the 14th century with split leaf decoration on the border....

Have two photo's attached, one is of the 19th century Qajar sipar discussed on this thread and the other is a 17th century shield also with split leaf decoration on the outer edge adjacent to the rim.

Comparing the two you can see the 17th century shield has a higher quality of chisel work, you can see how the design has more detail than the Qajar shield in this example.

The 17th century shield is also made from wootz and the Qajar shield is iron.
