Hi Bandook, another question if you don't mind, how do you tell the age of these shields? The reason for asking is that I have a small collection of them in different sizes, all brass and highly decorated as yours is which was my reason for acquiring them but I have always wondered about their age and what they were used for ie decoration, ceremonial occasions or defence in battle.
Regards
Miguel
