German Medieval Cone-Shaped Umbo in Steel

The pronounced cone shape was a favorite in German regions during the Middle Ages because it disperses the force of strikes sideways, offering more effective protection at the center of the shield, and its wide base protects the grip with the same practical logic as the originals.

Four equidistant holes in the circular base allow for quick and secure fastening, making it easy to mount this piece even in DIY projects. Whether you are working with rivets, screws, or traditional fastening systems, the geometry and positioning of the holes facilitate precise and firm adjustments in wood or composite panels.

The image showcases the cone silhouette rising from the flat base, the hammered pattern, and the slightly aged tone of the metal—details that reinforce the feeling of authenticity and provide a visual finish that responds very well to the lighting of displays and live settings.

Perfect for faithful reproductions of German shields, themed gear, and LARP equipment, historical piece restorations, and presentations in museums or live demonstrations, this piece combines traditional appearance with modern functionality.

If you are looking for a practical and visually striking solution for your next project, purchasing the German Medieval Cone-Shaped Umbo in Steel guarantees you a piece ready for fastening, with a realistic feel and appearance that enhances both the aesthetic and durability of any shield.
