Standing Pavise Shield with a Bridge Crest
A tall pavise shield displays a stone bridge symbol painted on its front face. Pavise shields were large defensive barriers designed to stand on the ground, offering protection for crossbowmen while reloading during siege battles.
Historical Use of Defensive Pavise Shields
Medieval archers placed heavy pavise shields directly into soil using wooden stakes built into the shield base. The bridge heraldry symbolized safe passage and connection, often representing military units tasked with defending river crossings and highways.
