The base shield is black and purple and triangular with elliptical angles spanning length wise and two half circle angles on the top side spanning the width.

Engraved on the item is " With this shield I protect my people from harm."

This is a +1 magical shield.

When a person is attuned to the shield they may use their reaction to absorb magical attacks made against themselves or a person behind them within 15ft when the wielder is in the path of the spell.
