Quarter decoration is a decorative practice widely used in art and architecture, particularly in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, but also extended to subsequent periods. This technique involves dividing a surface into geometric sectors, each filled with various motifs, such as vegetal, geometric, figurative or symbolic elements, applicable on ceilings, floors, walls and art objects. In architecture, it enriches vaults, especially Gothic cross vaults, with decorations ranging from geometric designs to complex scenes. In the artistic field, it is present in the production of illuminated manuscripts and textiles, facilitating symmetrical compositions and storytelling through variation of motifs. This technique not only has aesthetic but also symbolic and functional purposes, visually organizing the space in an effective way.
An interesting parallel is found in Roman shields, such as the scutum, decorated with sectors that strengthened the identity and cohesion of the group through symbols and emblems. These decorations not only distinguished the units in battle but also had propitiatory and protective meanings. Techniques ranged from painting to the use of metals, with the umbo in the center serving as the focal point. These practices reflected the Roman fusion of business with pleasure, giving everyday objects an aesthetic and symbolic dimension. The quartered decoration on Roman shields symbolized the power and glory of Rome, highlighting the organization and culture of the Roman army.
