For my new book The Gods of Battle: The Thracians at War
I got a lot of interesting information about this shield from the achaeologists at the museum (yes, even after 20 years, it was still not published!) - see the book for the complete description. Thanks for posting these photos- I had to take my photos through glass. You can see my photos at http://home.exetel.com.au/thrace/images/armour.htm
The shield is bronze on wood and has an unusual egg-shape
I also published photographs of this shield in my Osprey Book "The Thracians".
