The old Indian shields are fast becoming obsolete and are very rapidly leaving the Indian frontiers. The author, being the Keeper, National Museum, New Delhi, has seized the rare opportunity of collecting, handling, studying and classifying all kinds of Indian shields with inspired interest. In the last 22 years he has physically examined hundreds of shield, and has prsented in this treatise, in a coherent and scientific way, practically all that is worth knowing about the Indian shield.
The book is divided into seven schapters and five appendices. It discusses in detail the origin and development of shield in India, its various types, its makers, styles, techniques, its mode of decoration and the materials used and the modern ethnological parallels available today. The appendices describe the historical and inscribed shields and provide the chemical analysis.
The book Indian shield is profusely illustrated with line drawings, black and white photographs and colour plates. The line drawings and the photos are suthentic and drawn from the actual specimens preserved in the different museums.
The book is considered to be the authoritative volume which stands as a highly respected landmark in a subject area on which there is a dearth of published material. It is earnestly believed that this volume will prove a reference source for the historians, librarians, curators of museums, antique dealers and collectors of arms and armour.
