Pilgrim shield

pilgrim shield

That's quite a shield you've got, there, pilgrim. Despite the fact that it is dominated by an enormous buckle, it is not a buckler. It may or may not be made from a flattened hat.

Wearing this fills you with a powerful sense of entitlement and self-righteousness, and you're always finding spears and hatchets buried in it, for some reason. It's bound to help your progress.

References

• John Wayne addressed people as "pilgrim" in several of his movies, most memorably The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
• A capotain hat with a buckled band is the iconic piece of headwear of the Puritan pilgrim settlers of Plymouth Colony, however there is little evidence that they actually wore them, due to the Puritan belief that there was no need for excessive dress at any time, including the attending of church services.
• The description also refers to the phrase Bury the hatchet.
• The last line is a reference to The Pilgrim's Progress, a famous allegorical novel.
