Description
A circular plastic shield. The shield is silver around the edge, with rings of varying shades of gold and a navy blue centre. There is an image of an eagle in the middle of the shield with twelve gold stars stuck in a circle around it. The circle of stars references the EU flag.
This shield is part of a Wonder Woman costume worn by artist and activist Madeleina Kay to protest Brexit.
The outfit was worn to the People's Vote March in 2019 which called for a second referendum.
Madeleina Kay, also known as EU Supergirl, is an artist, musician and poltical activist who commonly wears superhero costumes to campaign against Britain's departure from the European Union. She was famously told to leave a European Commission press conference, despite having press accreditation, for wearing a Supergirl outfit.
