| Description |
English:
Shield of Henry II of France. Steel, embossed and damascened with silver and gold. The embossed scene at the center of the shield is an illustration of Hannibal's victory of the Romans at Cannae in 216 BC, a metaphor for France against the armies of the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s. The design of the shield is attributed to Paris goldsmith Etienne Delaune.
