Larder Door

This shield appears to have once quite literally comprised the front of a larder. It still has the pull-ring and metal cross-bands reinforcing its surface, giving it considerable heft when swung at an opponent. Despite its humble origins, the nicks and gouges on the shield’s surface suggest it has seen more than a few battles in its time and proved a sturdy defense — though it leaves the harrowing prospect that there may be a larder somewhere lying undefended.
