Combat shield
A braid of red coloured rattan divides the front of the shield into four areas. In the central fields there are two stylised facial representations that are symmetrical to the transverse axis, but differently executed. On the reverse, the braiding creates seven fields filled with highly stylised motifs that may be interpreted as eyes. Text: Ulrich Menter
