scarf | shields

The shield, aspis in Greek, was carried by Greek infantry (hoplites)
of various periods and is often referred to as a hoplon.
A hoplon shield was a deeply dished shield made of wood.
Some shields had a thin sheet of bronze on the outer face,
often just around the rim. In some periods, the convention was
to decorate the aspis; in others, it was usually left plain.
