They're not a complicated piece. Easily made from thin sheet plastic or various other materials. Mine is homemade and covered with material. Uses upholstery clips, and a few screws to hold it up in place.
Start with construction paper or cardboard and make templates by taping it to the bows and cutting it to size. Once you've got patterns you can chose your material for the backer, and covering, and copy the patterns.
Then drill holes through the backer and mount it with screws to the bows. After that, pull it down and use upholstery clips to fit the holes and push them through the backer before gluing the material on. Then just snap it in place, and if needed add a few strategic screws if the backer doesn't conform well enough to hold.
