The round shield measures approximately 18 inches in diameter and features four raised bosses on the face, with extensive incised decoration across the surface and an elliptical floral motif at the center as described in the accompanying documentation. The iron retains a dark aged patina with surface wear and oxidation throughout. Accompanied by purchase and provenance paperwork from Antiquities Collector / Museum of Ancient Art, dated May 7, 2002, identifying the piece as a 16th-century UK iron shield and describing it as intact and unrestored at the time of sale.
