Leather embossed parade shield
This object is a leather embossed parade shield with a convex
section that would have had a ceremonial rather than combative
function. The shield has a circular wooden base which has been
overlaid on both its sides with black leather. The image in
the centre of the shield depicts a pastoral scene with a man,
woman, horse and three cherubic figures in the foreground. Around
the central image in a band reaching to the edge of the shield are
illustrations of horned figures and humans surrounded by
laurels.
