a black iron shield

A black shield lies here, with blood red engraving.

look black

A heavy black iron shield, battered in places over its years.  The beatings seem not to have so much damaged the shield, as polished the light-absorbing metal.  The engravings on the shield's front are stained a deep, dried blood red, the paint dangerously life-like...  The shield's handle cushions have been torn off, leaving only bare chain in their place.
