Shield cover depicted on monument??
#6
I think the interpretation as a shield cover is correct- the irregularity of the design and the deeper relief compared to the internal decoration on the other shield.

The identification of both the shield cover and the internal decoration are AFAIK firsts for the 1st / second century- laudes!

Cheers
