Shield Boss
The Shield Boss by an unknown artist depicts a conical, gold-colored metal object. The object has a wide, flat base with several rivets around the edge. The base appears to be slightly raised around the perimeter. A conical shape rises from the base, tapering to a point at the top. The entire object appears to have a weathered, aged appearance. The background of the image is white.
