Qajar brass shield

Dear Collectors

I recently bought this brass shield, described by the auctioneer as "A Turkish Qajar brass shield, 19th century, embossed with a crescent and engraved with maidens and animals, 69cm diameter"

I have never bought a shield before and knew/know nothing about it besides that is is quite beautiful and I fell in love with it from the moment I saw it. Had to have it.

If anyone can give me more information, period, area it would have come from, etc, etc, I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks
