Shields with bosses and center-grips are well known from the early middle ages, but fewer know that they were around, alongside a wide variety of shield types, in the late medieval period. I present a boss-gripped large heater shield I recently made, inspired by an example in late 15th century art. Then I go through some other images of interesting shields that show either bosses or center grips, or both. Check out this follow-up video where I show the process of making this replica shield ([ Ссылка ]).
