Large Indian Dhal Shield with fine decorated bosses
Interesting example of an Indian shield that started as a fighting shield, and later in the 19th c, brass hand chiselled plaques were added. The plaques are highly detailed and well done. I have seen 3 other shields of this type. Thick steel bosses are decorated with silver kofgari. Shield itself is probably 18thc. Still retains the khuckle padding and tough fabric handles on the back of the shield. 52cm (20.5 inches) in diameter.

Fine 19th c. Indian Dhal Shield
The condition of this shield is excellent for it's age. Most likely made in central India. Decorated with Silver and gold koftgari floral elements. A raised snake design surrounds the bosses ending at one boss with the head and tail flairing out to the edge of the shield. Most of the koftgari is still intact (approx 97%) A little more cleaning will bring out hidden areas of koftgari. Only small areas around the border of the shield is wearing thin. Still retains the khuckle and fabric padding on the back of the shield. 35.2cm (14 inches) in diameter.
