The Shield of David, or the Start of David, is a six pointed star comprised of two triangles overlapping one another, one facing upwards and the other downwards. Some hold that the young Israelite warrior, David, used the star for the frame of his shield, with leather being spanned across the frame.  Today the Shield is used as a symbol of the modern Jewish state of Israel.
