Since Definitive Edition released, every civilization now has crest or icons. So, the Malay icon based on Peurise Aceh (Perisai Aceh) from Aceh, Sumatra.

Peurise is a shield originate from Acehnese (Orang Aceh). The Peurise Aceh has two type, Peurise Awe and Peurise Teumaga. Peurise Awe is made of cast rattan or wood and Peurise Teumaga is made of Brass or Bronze.

The decoration often consists of concentric circles made on a lathe using a chisel. Common decorations of six hexagonal stars can also be found on this shield. A rope is attached behind the shield to function as the handle. The diameter of this shield is approximately 24 to 35 centimeters.

In 19th, The shield was also used by Acehnese warriors during the Aceh War against the Dutch colonials.

In fact, Peurise Aceh shield made in around 19th century so it's anachronistic.
