Our expert's notes

An oversized shield used by Dennis Cooper (Michael Palin) in the Terry Gilliam fantasy film Jabberwocky. Dennis used the shield, decorated with a red herring, check pattern and multiple fleur de-lis, on his quest to defeat the terrible Jabberwocky monster, which threatened his local village.
This shield was specially created at approximately twice its regular size to give an illusion of scale in the scenes featuring the attack on the creature. Terry English himself was involved as a double in the scene. The markings and paintwork on this prop match exactly the one seen in that sequence.

Made from wood and aluminium, the shield has a leather strap on the back, with some of the trim and some of the protective padding on the reverse side having come away over time.
