Shield Bosses

Shield bosses are designed to be placed at the center of a shield and are meant to deflect the blows from the center of the shield. They were first found in prehistoric ages and were made common in the medieval ages. We offer a variety of shield bosses here that are ideal for adding to your favorite shield to incorporate another aspect of defense in battle or for extra authenticity within costume armour looks. Whether you are part of a reenactment or simply interested in historical fighting styles, these shield bosses are excellent additions to most shields. We offer steel shield bosses and brass Roman shield bosses that you can easily attach to your own favorite shield. When it comes to bringing authentic detail to your shield, as well as more ways to defend yourself with it, be sure to take a look through our shield boss section.
