Rattan shield

Shield used in China and Korea

The rattan shield was used by the militaries of Imperial China and their subordinate tributary vassal state of Korea since the Ming dynasty and the Joseon dynasty, respectively. The Ming dynasty Han Chinese general Qi Jiguang described its use in his book, the Jixiao Xinshu, which was reproduced in the Korean Muyejebo that contains the first Korean account of the shield. The rattan shield is circular and often have a fierce tiger face on it, so it is also called the tiger shield.
