Shields
This category contains objects that were used to deflect weapons, usually worn on the arm.
Sheilds were made with wickerwork, boiled leather in a frame, or metal disks. They range in size from arm length and circular to body length and rectangular. Metal sheilds were usually small and circular because of the weight.
