1st Cen. AD Germanic Shield

[Harjaz]

I've seen the diagram before, and i've watched some you tube videos on shield boss forging. I can see how it could be done, but I would be VERY hard and take A LOT of skill to do. I do hope to make a boss like that one day, but for now, I'm going to try to base my boss on the rivited boss find from Denmark. I'm still trying to find information and diagrams of the artifact, but it's construction seems very simple. The shield boss in the diagram that Demetrius posted is a boss of the Przworsk culture (or something like that). They were eastern Germanic tribes inhabiting Poland. i think this boss is dated to 1st cen BC to 1st cen AD.
