Any items that cast "Shield" spell?

I'm hoping there's an item in this game that will cast the spell "Shield". I want it for my single-classed Monk (it'll make him a better decoy).

If one exists, please tell me what it is and where it can be found.

Thanks!

EDIT: I found there is a Shield Ring in the game. Where can it be found though?

Jaheira's Amulet

If you install the optional Baldur's Gate merchant mod, you can buy Jaheira's amulet from Ribald (in Targos).

The amulet give spermanent shield spell effects when equipped (although I havn't tried it yet). It is expensive.

Anyone tried this? I think it may almost have been 'designed' for a monk character.

That seems a bit too cheesey for me.

Klorox,

IIRC the ring is available fairly early in the game, mayhaps even from the mage in Targos. Just not sure. :o I think I am going to have to start a new game (my current one in IWD2 is at the wandering village) to see.

EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me Klorox and I started a new game to check it out. I really do seem to recall seeing a Shield Ring in the game "somewhere", but Elytharra the mage (Ulbrec's wife) has a Shield Amulet for sale. It costs about 5k+ so my newbie party can't afford it yet. But she does have that at least.

EDIT #2:
I found another Shield Amulet for sale in the wandering village.
