An Engraved Indian Steel Shield with Floral and Mythical Motifs.

The shield is circular with a slightly convex shape, providing both deflective function and aesthetic appeal. The surface features a series of intricate floral and animal motifs arranged in concentric patterns across the shield, with the center showcasing a denser arrangement of floral designs.

Four prominent, domed bosses are symmetrically positioned around the centre of the shield, which would serve to deflect blows while enhancing its visual appeal. The outer border is adorned with repeating floral motifs, while the inner circles contain mythical or hunting scenes
