Shield

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round shield with a central circular metal plate surrounded by six wavy metal lines, each line extending from the center to the edge. The lines are adorned with metal flower-like shapes. The shield's background appears to be dark wood or leather, encased in a metal rim with rivets. A ruler is placed below the shield for scale. The artist and title are "Shield".
