Shield

Description

This piece of protective equipment is a combat shield designed to protect the body from strikes by various types of melee weapons. The base of the shield is made of durable black metal. On the inner side, two leather handles are attached, allowing the shield to be comfortably worn on the arm. The leather straps are secured to the base with a metal ring, ensuring the structure’s strength and reliability. The outer side of the shield is reinforced with four convex, hemispherical metal overlays. These elements are not only decorative but also functional – they enhance protection by distributing the force of impact. The item reflects the traditions of martial craftsmanship and the skill of Kazakh artisans in both blacksmithing and leatherworking.
