It is highly decorated and comprises a central panel of geometric diamond-shapes surrounded by a foliate wreath. Each diamond has a stylised flower petal in the centre. It would have had a leather or wooden core, with the protective copper alloy cast metal around it. It is probably 18th century in date.
