Description
This recreation of the Roman Dura Europos Scutum Shield is constructed from poplar wood and is tightly overlaid in linen and elaborately hand painted. The shield has a horizontal wooden grip on its reverse and a brass shield boss on its front.
Please Note: The shield ships with the shield boss unmounted, so some assembly is required. Mounting hardware is included. Being hand painted, the precise hue of the shield colors and the execution of the design can vary.
Please Note: it is common for this item to have patination on the brass shield rim and shield boss – it can be cleaned to a bright sheen with polishing paste and scuff pads.
