Earliest depiction of a Western-European kite shield

I have previously written that Ian Heath's idea that the kite-shaped shield was depicted in Europe for the first time in the 'Codex Aureus of Echternach', (The Gospel of Otto III). Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany was based on a dating on the reused ivory cover as c. 983-991AD, but, the manuscript is now dated as 1030-1050AD.
The earliest depiction of a Western-European kite shield may be in a Carolingian Bible, Northern France, 976-1000AD. Bibliothèque nationale de France, Latin 46, which was previously dated after 1000.
