Description
This one is made of stainless steel and is decorated with brass ring with etched pattern which is based on the traditional Viking's ornament with wolves. The Wolf is one of the most known characters in Norse mythology, a dangerous, furious, fast, and strong creature - right what your enemies have to see at the very last moment of their life. What a great choice for the uncompromising warrior!
A umbo or shield boss must be installed on a wood or metal frame to build a shield. Used to protect the hand of the user, it's the central piece of any center grip shield, such as the one used through history by various groups such as the Norse vikings, germanic tribes, Roman legionnaries, Celts or Scots. From round shields to scutums, bucklers, and oval shields, umbos were used to reinforce the center of the shield against big blows, as well as a blugeon to punch and push. The thickness of this umbo makes it viable not only for LARP and reenactment, but also for SCA combat.
