By the late great Victor Ambrus (which I learned about from Time Team)

The South Cadbury Shield visualized by Victor Ambrus in a burial scene, where as part of a ritual it has been placed faced down over the burial ahead of being physically broken. From Drawing Somerset’s Past, The History Press, 2018. Illustration: Victor Ambrus
