Quote:So what is that rope for?

Is it not possible that it was used for carrying the shield over one's shoulder when not it use? I also wonder if the perimeter nature of the rope actually steadies the shield somewhat when it is gripped, in as much as it was tightened. Just some thoughts on the original subject. Big Grin
