A fine Persian buckler
Persia - Qajar, Early 19th century
Silver and gold inlay on steel with its original red cotton lining and padding.
Of circular shape with four hemispherical bosses. The exterior decorated with silver and gold inlaid vegetal tendrils, stars and other decorative elements. Small shields like this are named bucklers. Unlike large shields, the buckler allowed great maneuverability. Held with the hand it imposed a particular fighting technique with an outstretched arm to widen the angle of defense of the person.
