Rand,
Just wanted to say I am very much enjoying examining this shield, and appreciate you sharing the subtleties in the overall piece in noting and supporting your thoughts on why it is Persian. It is great to have an example like this to learn from , and adding detailed comments really helps us understand key characteristics for future reference.
It is this kind of discussion, analysis and supported observations that really make our studies worthwhile.
Although we have not yet arrived conclusively at the nature of all the motif elements, it seems we're on the right trail, and its great seeing the observations everyone here is sharing.
Thank you !

All the best,
Jim
