This shield displays a hand-carved dark hardwood plaque featuring raised numerals "223" over "4" against a stippled background, indicating its association with the 4th Company of Infantry Regiment 223. The carving is mounted on a modern light-wood shield that preserves the original piece and allows for secure display. Measuring 4.25 inches by 3.25 inches, the shield reflects the personal craftsmanship typical of "Soldier's Work" from the Eastern Front period. The warm natural patina of the darkwood is retained, while the sharpness of the carving demonstrates period construction skill. The modern mount was completed professionally to ensure stability without altering the original material.
