Andor's Trail

I just saved Lovis and he offered me to pick between 5000 gold 5000 xp or a shield. Unfortunately I didn't understand that it was a choice so I just pick the xp. My last backup is old, so before redoing everything to have a chance to pick the shield I would like to know its characteristics, can anyone tell me?
Also I'm using a big Axe at the moment so I won't be able to have both right? Which weapon to pick then?

I always take the XP, but it depends on your needs.
You won't miss not having the shield.

But do you remember the shield characteristics ? I am curious

i take the shield but im monk.
