This splendid example of design and execution is presently housed in the New York Met. Museum, and this link will give a better resolution:

yet it warrants even greater magnification to appreciate fully the detail. A small part of the shield filled the back and front of a recent members journal.
I am not one to glorify war, yet I concede blood has often been shed that I and others might have the privilege of even saying such words in public, and that includes the blood of my father. I do however glorify good composition. If battle is to be your chosen subject, then the central characters are compelling, and everything about the surrounding field of slaughter, out to the complex and well arranged borders. Quality is top notch in the amalgam of repousie, chasing, gold inlay, and engraving.
The shield is about 25 inches high by 18 inches wide.
