With a height of 91 centimetres and a width of 36.5 centimetres, this shield weighs 2640 grams so it is quite light.The wooden piece incorporating the handle has two elements with a flattened triangle cross-section, their lengths are different: 44& 33 cm starting from the handle.This seems to be the case also for the model illustrated in Sultan to Sultan: May French-Seldon (1892) p. 277, 278.
