单词 | pavise |
释义 | pavisen. Now archaic and historical. 1. a. A distinctive form of late-medieval shield (apparently produced originally in Pavia), flat, more or less oblong in outline, but sometimes with a convex top edge, with a wide, flat, raised medial band, hollowed out at the back, extending from top to bottom. In later use sometimes applied to any large shield.The pavise was made in sizes appropriate for mounted or infantry use, but is best known from the very large size (as much as 128 cm high) that could be propped up to stand independently and so be used as a protective screen, for example, by a crossbowman, esp. during sieges.
