Description

Elevate your shield-making craft with the SQUARE SHIELD BOSS, meticulously HAND FORGED from robust 16-gauge MILD STEEL. This striking umbo is designed to enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of your Roman Scutum shields, ensuring that your craftsmanship stands out on the battlefield or in displays. With dimensions of approximately (8.6 X 8.6) inches (22cm x 22cm) and a height of around 5cm (1.9 inches), it perfectly marries form and functionality.

The weight of the umbo is 620 grams, striking an ideal balance for optimal protection without sacrificing maneuverability. Each piece is carefully crafted, which means slight variations in size, weight, and finish may occur, giving your shield a unique touch that no factory-made piece can offer. This individuality is a testament to the artisanal skills involved in hand forging, making each umbo truly special.

As you forge your shield, consider the essential role this high-quality steel umbo plays in protecting the shield-bearer’s hand from incoming sword strikes. The elegant design not only aids in deflecting blows but also adds a bold, historical aesthetic to your craftsmanship. It is supplied with mushroom head steel rivets and washers — each rivet measures around 15.5 mm in length with a pin size of 13.3 mm long and 4 mm thick. The washers have an inner diameter of 5 mm and an outer diameter of 10.5 mm, ensuring a secure and durable attachment.

Beyond its functionality, this shield boss is a fine example of craftsmanship that appeals to collectors and history enthusiasts alike. The timeless design combined with the durability of mild steel makes it a perfect décor item for historical reenactors or anyone with a passion for ancient warrior culture. Imagine displaying a beautifully crafted Scutum in your home or office, invoking a sense of history and strength in your space.

Upon receiving your SQUARE SHIELD BOSS, you’ll notice it is coated with a protective layer of oil. This temporary coating serves as a protective barrier against corrosion, ensuring that your beautiful piece remains in top condition until you are ready to install it on your shield. Should you wish to remove this layer, it can be easily wiped off with any oil remover or a simple dry cloth.

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey of craftsmanship and historical artistry. Invest in this extraordinary SQUARE SHIELD BOSS and transform your Scutum into not just a protective gear, but a stunning reflection of ancient honor and strength. Every warrior deserves a shield worthy of their story, and this umbo is just the piece to complete your tale.
