After Gawain leaves the court. His appearance has a lot of detail. Gawain's shield is red with a 5 pointed gold, and on the inside of the shield is Marys face. The 5 points in the star represent 5 things. they represented his 5 senses, his 5 fingers, his faith which was founed in the 5 wounds, the five joys of which mary conceived in her son, and the 5 virtues of a knight. he was also wearing a silk tunic and a cloak closed at the neck, which was lined with white fur. He was wearing steel shoes, and armor that was gold thread to the knights knee. he wore a suit of shimmering steel rings on his body. Had braces on both arms, and elbow guards, and metal gloves.
