A Royal Guard of Argos shield from Desmond Davis' fantasy adventure film Clash of the Titans. The Royal Guards served King Acrisius of Argos (Donald Houston), but even with their heavy shields could not protect the King from the wrath of Zeus (Laurence Olivier).

The shield is made of thick wood with a metallic-gray painted resin shield boss, and a metal bird insignia and rim weathered by production to match the shield boss. On the rear are two leather straps, one labeled "FB," and both twine and wire for hanging it. The shield is in fair overall condition with wear from use and age, including scuffs and dents to the resin and metal, chips and large splits in the wood, foam adhesive remnants, one torn leather strap, and some dust buildup.

Dimensions: 26" x 26" x 4" (66.5 cm x 66.5 cm x 10.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
