The Brass Shield is a medium-sized, round shield with a sturdy, slightly convex shape, designed for both defense and aesthetic appeal. Its surface is primarily made of polished brass, featuring intricate gothic engravings that depict ancient symbols and battle scenes, with a darkened patina in the recesses to accentuate the details. The rim is reinforced with a band of darkened steel, providing durability against strikes, while the back is lined with padded leather for a secure grip and comfort during combat.
