Description

Large, wood, rectangular shaped shield with rounded corners. The surface is painted with the union jack flag. The underside is concaved and has a fibre handle consisting of many pieces of braided rope wrapped together with a piece of cotton fabric. Along one of the sides is an electrical cord, cut and tied into a knot at either end. Adhered to one of the corners is a flattened red and yellow tin can that reads: ‘Globe, Drippings, Product of Australia’. Covering almost half of the back is a nailed, large piece of metal. There are large cracks through the shield that have been repaired with adhesive, metal ties that protrude from the surface.
