Large Shield +2

The Large Shield +2 is an enchanted shield. It offers an armor class bonus of +3 and, as with all large shields, a +1 bonus vs missile attacks. 
Unlike other large shields, it only requires 10 strength to wear, not 15. This is because, as the item description says, it is specifically enchanted to be lighter. 
This item appears in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II.
In Baldur's Gate, it can be found in Durlag's Tower on the fourth underground level in the area with the carpet trap. This shield and the Shield of the Falling Stars are the best shields found in the game; this shield has a better general AC bonus, but the Shield of the Falling Stars offers better protection against missiles.
In Baldur's Gate II, this item can be found in the ruins of Firkraag's Maze, although it has a different appearance and a higher weight. It will be dropped by a group of relic hunters during the Samia's Proposal side quest, wielded by the Ogre/Orog Chak. You can also purchase it from the "special wares" inventory of Ribald Barterman, or from the bartender in the Tankard Tree.
In BG2EE Fadell Ironeye has this shield in her inventory within the Red Wizard Enclave.
