why, if it IS a shield, does it not even protect HALF the building? Is it a shield that only served to protect the tv antenna of the local church??

Sigh,.. if people really want to see a UFO in a depiction such as this... they will see it. Some posters here are so determined to see a UFO, they are almost blinded by their sensationalism. OKAY I have seen some unusual depictions from ancient artifacts and illustrations before, but this is just not one of them.
Now grow up, and accept that it's way more likely to be a symbolic shield than a flying spacecraft....

What we really need here in this thread is not a historian or UFOlogist, but a true artist, to understand the artistic and symbolic approach behind the painting. lol

What makes you sure certain that it's a symbolic shield?
Looking at the image, it's difficult to imagine what the painting could be depicting if not a spacecraft!

So why is it more likely that what is depicted is symbolic?

But with some understanding of mythology it is not so difficult. It is a representation of a mythical Roman shield which, in the middle ages, took on the ability to offer protection from lightning. Looks like a pretty stormy sky there.
