Description: | A shield made from hide, in the form of a rectangle with projecting corners which are wrapped with iron strip. There is a wooden midrib at the back 'blanket-stitched' with leather and held on by iron rivets. The centre of the midrib is left bare and bent up to form a handgrip. There is the remains of a carrying strap of soft cord and white cloth. The front of the shield is decorated with short rows of iron rivets. | Source: | Manchester Museum | Identifier: | mm.emu.ecatalogue.humanities.307472 | Go to resource |
