We offer for sale this is a very rare and rather simple example of an 18 C. Ottoman/Turkish arm war shield (Buckler). The shield is based on a central wooden core, bound with a spiral of cane or thick rattan and covered with colored cotton threads. The outer surface is covered with many brass coin imitation disks. And steel strips. Total diameter is 10 inches. Handle made of braided leather strips. Good condition to age. Some rusted area with minor pitting. The inner fabric cover is worn. This is a real war shield, from the 18 C. Very un-common.
