Round Center Grip Shields Certainly one of the earliest forms of defense devised by warriors in history, the shield is as old as human records of combat. The earliest shields were likely constructed of toughened animal hide stretched over frames, or basket-woven frames augmented with layers of hide. Shields of wood replaced those, followed by many forms of composite-shields constructed with both wood and metal elements. The shield most often associated with the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons, the round center-grip shield was incredibly popular with foot soldiers and mounted warriors alike (although it gradually fell out of favor with cavalry in favor of other shield forms). A good, all-purpose shield, the round center-grip shield is often between 24” and 30” and made of wood. It can be rimmed or unrimmed, plain or lavishly decorated.
