Antique Decorative Nickel-Plated Brass Wall Shield was designed to adorn a masculine decor, featuring a classic shield shape that dates back to ancient Greece, and fully embossed with various symbols of bellicose activity and accouterments, including a ferocious battle scene as the main element.  The symbolism both glorifies the warrior and simultaneously portrays the horror of war.  Such is the history of the human race.  Created from solid embossed brass, it has been given a nickel finish on the front and a coating on the back to resist tarnish. 
Circa mid-1900s
