Bring authentic battlefield realism to your shield construction with this Medieval Hand-Forged Shield Boss, crafted from heavy-duty 14-gauge mild steel. The deep-domed shape with a naturally hammered finish not only offers solid protection but also adds true period character to your shield.

Designed to complement Viking, Saxon, and Norman-style round shields, this boss becomes the centerpiece of any war-ready build. The raw forged finish highlights the handwork of skilled artisans, giving your shield the look and feel of genuine battlefield steel.

For practicality, the boss comes with six pre-drilled holes, along with rivets and washers included, making installation fast and secure—no need to source extra hardware. Once mounted, the dome helps deflect blows while protecting the hand that grips the shield’s central handle behind it.

Whether you’re building a combat-ready shield, a historically accurate reenactment kit, or a fantasy-inspired piece, this boss is an essential addition to any warrior’s gear.

Care Instructions

  • Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use to remove moisture

  • Lightly oil the steel surface to prevent rust

  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from humidity

  • For added long-term protection, you may apply wax or sealant

Note

Each shield boss umbo is individually hand-forged, so slight differences in size, shape, hammer marks, or finish are natural. These variations add to its authentic character and make every piece unique.
