A large dragon scale crafted into a shield for a mighty warrior. The scale has a rough, metallic surface with a deep, dark hue, possibly black or dark gray, and faint iridescent patterns running through it. The edges of the shield are reinforced with silver or steel, and intricate engravings of ancient symbols are etched into the metal frame. The shield has a rugged, battle-worn appearance, with a few scratches and dents, showing it has been through many fights. It is massive, almost as tall as the warrior who wields it, and exudes a sense of power and resilience.
