Descripción
Hard leather shields used by light calvary and designed specifically for riding riding with a short stirrup with knees bent. They were originally of a round or heart shape, then generally created in the shape of a pair of overlapping ellipses or ovals. They were originally used by the Moors, then by Spain; the form came to North America when Cortez entered Mexico in the early 16th century.
