Shield Grip

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Shield Grip, created by artist Unidentified, is a metal object, likely made of bronze or iron with gold accents. It features a long, slender handle with a small gold-colored hook at the top. The handle is divided into three sections by two decorative metal rings; one near the top and one near the bottom. The rings have rounded protrusions with circular indentations. The bottom of the handle also has a small gold-colored cap. The background of the image is gray.
