Complete your LARP shield or gear with this hand-forged steel shield boss, a centerpiece that transforms a plain wooden blank into a battle-ready round shield. Modeled after the classic umbos carried by Vikings, Saxons, and medieval footmen, its domed shape deflects strikes while reinforcing the central grip of your shield.
The polished outer surface gives it a striking finish suited for feasts, fairs, and battlefield roleplay, while the blackened interior maintains the rugged, functional look of authentic medieval armor. With six pre-drilled holes and included rivets, attaching it to your wooden shield is quick, secure, and historically accurate.
Whether you’re building a custom heater, round, or targe shield, this boss serves both as practical defense in LARP combat and as a display-worthy centerpiece in your collection. Strong, simple, and authentic, it belongs at the heart of any medieval armory kit.
