I have seen and held reconstructions of both types, but I am not sure that we have any evidence, which would without question exclude one or the other. I remember seeing a painting with a porpax - antilabe construction similar to an Aspis and the back side seems to be woold or other kind of cloth. No wickerwork evidence there. But I would definitely prefer rawhide or leather cover, too.
