XIII Century buckler (fist shield)

Published:

Description

Here's a nice buckler as seen in the Royal Armouries I.33 manuscript (aka the "Tower of London" manuscript), the earliest known combat manual in European history! Sword Tard 

Shield boss comes from ulfberth.com, the rest is made by me :)

Materials used: beech plywood for the body and a piece of broomstick for the handle, glue, linen, acrylic paint, iron nails and rivets, leather.

Is it faced with rawhide?
