Our expert's notes

An honour guard shield from Desmond Davis’ fantasy epic Clash of the Titans. Based on famous Greek myths, the film tells the story of Perseus’ (Harry Hamlin) adventures through ancient Greece as he seeks to save the princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker) from the Kraken.
This shield was used by a member of the honour guard who accompanied Perseus (Harry Hamlin) on his quest to save Andromeda (Judi Bowker). This style of shield was used by the guardsman who was shot in the back with an arrow by the gorgon Medusa.

The shield is made of aluminium with a metal and foam grip on the rear. The finish is executed in bronze paint with a repeating triangle pattern design on the front edge and a wave design on the rear. A single metal stud from the suspension harness that was on the rear is still present. The resin griffin motif that would have adorned the front of the shield was subsequently lost after production, with the outline of the beast still present on the shield’s face.

The shield shows significant wear—likely from use on subsequent productions—with scratches and dents on the front and paint flaking on the edge and rear. However, in spite of this wear, the shield remains in fair condition.
