I'm starting to suspect that shoulder strap going towards his left side is some kind of supportive or dare I say carry/travel strap for the shield, and not a baldric for the dagger or whatever blade weapon he's got there.
Such an odd angle for the shield - I suspect he's pushing his shield aside to show off the "guns".
….it's almost as if his left leg is bent back in such a way that the shield is resting, if ever so slightly, in the back of his knee or
on the calf. Wish the details hadn't eroded so much, but grateful the thing survives at all.
The depiction of the 'armor' is indeed intriguing as it is baffling.
