Historical Craftsmanship from Mytholon

Forged by hand from 14-gauge mild steel, this fully functional shield boss is a piece crucial for bringing most shield designs to life. A shield boss is designed to sit in the center of a shield, protecting your grip while you’re wielding your shield. 14 gauge mild steel is well-suited for sparring and reenactments alike. Please note this product is handmade, so it may vary slightly in shape and color.

The shield boss, also called an umbo, has a distinct round shape like a dome rimmed with a flat steel ring. There are four holes in the rim. This Mytholon shield boss comes with four rivets to attach the boss to your shield. Because of the way this shield umbo is designed, it’s recommended to attach it to round shields.
