Shield fish

This shield fish (Pesce Scudo) is round with forged defensive spikes resembling the shape of a shield. The holes for the artisan represent the ability to see beyond the surface. The spikes, which are wrought ironwork, are elements of defence against possible threats. The corroded iron gives the idea of the memory of hardships faced and overcome.
