Kalkan shield
I decided to go out of the woods when I saw the discussion on the kalkan shield.
The kalkan is NOT an Ottoman shield. It's a Kurdish shield. It's the reason why you can find it in Turkey. The only similarity with Ottoman shield is the construction technique, the shield is made of straw. The Ottoman Turkish shield is different. Here is my kalkan and a Kurdish chap with a buckler / kalkan. |
