Fragmentarily preserved sheet that adorned a shield. The sheet is rectangular and bands ornamented with various motifs frame it. It bears three decorative panels arranged vertically. The first panel retains only parts of three figures’ legs and the second two naked men in combat. Within the last panel, there are three standing, bearded men, one of whom holds a spear. To the same sheet must have belonged a small fragment (ΕΑΜ Χ 6962 α) which preserves the hips of a male figure and is kept in the Museum storerooms.
