This shield is patterned after an example of a later period kite shield, this one without a center boss. The shield body is 1/2" thick, it measures 40" X 22", and weighs approximately 7 pounds. The face of the shield is covered in linen fabric and painted in quadrants, white & red. This shield is curved to a lesser extent than my standard shields.
The reverse side of the shield is covered in grey wool felt, and features my Basic Enarmes, and forearm padding.
The forearm strap is adjustable by way of a D-ring buckle. The stuffed forearm padding is of top grain leather, and is attached to the shield body with six decorative brass clavos. It is easily removed and replaced.
I had some difficulty with the length of the rawhide edging, and it did not turn out as hoped at top and bottom. For this reason, I am classifying this as a production 2nd, and I'm offering it at a substantial discount. Other than this flaw, the edging is in otherwise good condition.This would make someone an excellent practice shield.
