The Targe, decorated round leather covered wooden disc, was the shield of the Scots. The design on the targe was specific to his clan, just like the tartan of his kilt. This Clan Gunn Targe design has been historically researched. The original is pictured in the book "Weapons & Armour", published in 1879. The shield is leather covered, front and back, adorned with the solid brass studs, brass plates and dome.
