Manipule de bouclier

Saint-Dizier (52) - Musée Municipal

© Musée de Saint-Dizier, C. Philippot

The handle is made of a thin metal sheet, maintained by two iron rivets with flat circular heads. Traces of wood on the back of the rivets and in the hollow part of the handle. The wood in the hollow part of the handle may correspond to a wooden handle (covered with leather?). Two fragments of stems with a rectangular section could be fragments of a branch or of a maniple. One of these branches is repaired by riveting. Traces of tin solder on the reverse.
