Shield

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The shield, created by the artist, is a wooden object with a predominantly brown color and black accents. The shield has a distinctive shape, featuring a wide top with a U-shaped cutout and three prongs at the bottom. The shield's surface is adorned with a pattern of alternating black and brown stripes along its edges. A large black X shape is prominently displayed in the center, surrounded by a thin decorative border. The shield appears to be made of wood and exhibits signs of wear and tear. The background of the image is white, providing a clean contrast to the shield's earthy tones.
