There are perhaps thousands of boeotian shield depictions occurring on pottery in museum and private collections, so often are they depicted that it is hard to accept they are simply a persistent artistic convention as some believe due to the lack of hard artifactual evidence.
Yes, I've also heard them called peanut shields. And I've seen several pottery with them but all of the images are from sites like Wikipedia and Pintrest. What I'm looking for are museum sites with those images or similar sites.
