Roman infantry and cavalry shields from Joseph L. Mankiewicz's classic epic Cleopatra. Julius Caesar's (Rex Harrison) infantry carried rectangular shields, and round cavalry shields hung in the Palace of Alexandria.

This lot consists of two fiberglass shields designed by prop master Zoyd Luce: a rectangular one painted silver and brass with the winged Roman crest on front and arm tabs on back; and a round one painted red and brown to appear wooden with a resin winged Roman crest and burlap straps bolted on. Both exhibit chipped fiberglass and significant discoloration with the paint browned and grimy from age and production use. Dimensions (infantry): 41" x 22" x 0.25" (104.25 cm x 56 cm x 0.5 cm); (cavalry): 29.5" x 22.5" x 0.25" (75 cm x 57.25 cm x 0.75 cm)

Estimate: $400 - 600
