Oval shield that has a rectangular boss (10 x 6 x 1 cm.) with the longest dimension parallel to the width of the shield and in the approximate centre of the vertical surface. Boss enclosed by geometric design of bands all approximately 2 cm. in width, separated by thick black lines. Series of six bands alternately natural and yellow ochre coloured, joined to form squares, surround the boss which is outlined by an oval band. Points of squares aligned parallel to the longest and widest axes of the shield, respectively. Final points of sixth square touch edges at either side. Top and bottom form points of new series of squares with this repetitive pattern incomplete. Undecorated dorsal surface is hollowed at the centre to form a vertically placed handle.
