Northern Italy
diameter 59 cm.
Made from a single iron plate, of circular shape and slightly convex. In the centre the cusp (slightly wobbling) is of circular section and decorated with a twisted decoration, on a base with triple ring nut whose overlapping layers, with carved and engraved elements, form a flower. The shield's outer surface is divided into two well-drawn elements: the central disc and the outer band. The former, which is very wide, is divided into sixteen segments, alternating smooth and engraved segments; these also featuring alternating decorative motifs. In the first motif, men-at-arms, trophies of arms and armour and allegorical figures are depicted. In the second motif, architectural decorations framing heraldic animals and four different Italian shields with heraldic emblems. The outer band featuring a floral frame and four medaillons depicting animal effigies. All engraved decorations on a granulated background. Thick, well-worked outer rope. Iron rivets. In patina at the rear side.
