Thanks. I see from there that the boss on the Witham shield looks similar, if shorter. It's dated to the 4th century but it's close.
I just rediscovered a page on the Glauberg burials. The boss from there might be a good model, though I'd have to reduce the flange by about three quarters (and the central ridge might be unattainable/unaffordable). The statue from the same site has a shield with short spines.
