Rounded shields were extremely popular around the 15-17th centuries. These shields were typically smaller and lighter than other full-sized shields, making it easier to maneuver. While an excellent option for 1v1 battle, this shield is also great for larger battles when locked together to form a shield wall. This functional shield is made from 18-gauge mild steel and features a blank white finish. The blank canvas creates opportunity to decorate with your own unique design. The back features riveted hand grip as well as a leather adjustable strap for a comfortable secure grip.
