Parade Shield from Florence, Italy dated between 1380 - 1450 from Florence on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England
This rare shield would have been used for ceremonial purposes only. It boldly declares the identity of the Villani Family, who were wool merchants in Florence. Their arms dominate the surface, and when not in use the shield would have been put on display in their home.
