👉 The BRAZIL WEAPON, also known as the "Pau Brasil" or "Brazilian Shield," is a traditional Brazilian weapon that dates back to the colonial era. It's a type of shield made from iron or steel, typically measuring about 1.2 meters in diameter and 0.6 meters high, with a wooden or bamboo handle. The shield is often adorned with intricate designs and patterns, reflecting regional cultural influences. Historically used by indigenous peoples, African slaves, and later by Brazilian military forces, the BRAZIL WEAPON served both as a defensive tool and a symbol of cultural identity. Despite its age, it remains a significant artifact in Brazilian history and is sometimes used in cultural reenactments and historical demonstrations.
