Which one doesn´t? Confusedhock:

Top right hand doesn't seem to have one. I also missed the opne on the right hand central swordfighter, it looked too much like a piece of the writing. The pronounced rim on that shield also threw mwe, but that looks like it's supposed to have one.

Alsoi, note the way the swordfighter on the left and the white-tuniced guy in the top register hold their shields. I know that Sutton Hoo is sometimes reconstructed with an arm strap, but it really doesn't look like centre grip to me.
Der Kessel ist voll Bärks!
