Shields

About

A shield is half the kit and most of the silhouette. This collection spans the shield wall's whole history: round Viking shields with iron bosses, Greek hoplite and Spartan patterns, the Roman scutum, and medieval heater shields to match a knight's harness. How to choose. Match the culture first: a spectacle helm wants a round shield, a Corinthian helmet wants a hoplon, plate armor wants a heater. Wall display favors painted faces and polished bosses; reenactment wants solid wood, a firm grip and a shoulder strap. Sizes and mounting notes are on each listing.
