Forged Black Steel Umbo for Historical Anglo-Saxon Shield

Imagine lifting a shield that speaks of ancient battles and real resilience while effectively protecting your hand.

This handcrafted umbo offers a feeling of solidity and authenticity, thanks to its hammer-forged steel which imparts a rough texture and a dark matte finish, ideal for those seeking a sober and functional look. The black treatment not only enhances its historical appearance but also helps protect the piece from wear, keeping it ready for use in reenactments or displays.

The central dome is designed to allow sufficient space between the hand and the metal, facilitating a comfortable and secure grip, while enabling defensive maneuvers and control of the shield with greater confidence. Its concave profile reinforces the center of the shield, deflecting impacts and extending the useful life of the wood to which it is affixed.

The evenly distributed fixing holes simplify assembly and ensure a stable hold, making installation quick and the result remains firm even under demanding use. The classic design, used by Viking, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon warriors, provides historical fidelity that enhances reconstruction projects and museum pieces.
