Relive the essence of viking craftsmanship with our shield boss, a piece faithfully inspired by multiple archaeological finds, which reveals the warrior tradition from the Early Medieval Europe.

Hand forged from high-quality steel and hand-finished, this boss is not just an aesthetic detail: it is the structural heart of the shield, the piece that transforms a simple plank into an effective defensive tool. Its deep, reinforced design allows it to:

Deflect blows more safely, protecting the hand wielding the shield.
Provide rigidity to the shield, as it served as a structural element along with the handle.
Facilitate a firm and comfortable grip, thanks to the interior space that accommodates the warrior’s fist.
Authentically recreate the functionality and presence of original Viking shields.
