Historically, shield domes (umbos) like this one were essential in medieval Europe, used by Germanic tribes, the Saxons, and the Vikings. Placed in the center of wooden shields, these domes protected the warrior's hand during combat and turned the shield into a blunt weapon. This design is based on actual archaeological finds from the Migration and Viking periods.

INSTALLATION AND

USE:

• Cut or drill a center hole in your shield wood blank.
• Place the dome over the grip opening.
• Align and mark the 4 mounting holes.
• Drill and secure using the included rivets and washers.
• Combine it with a wooden or leather handle for complete functionality.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Clean after use
• Apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rust.
• Store in a dry environment
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
• Periodically check the rivets if mounted on an actively used shield ⭐
