I have to make a Veles shield but I'm not sure about what kinda umbo use... a wooden republican or a semi-spherical metallic one?

I would go with the wooden one, perhaps even with a butterfly boss.

Yes, that's what I though too... Thanx Peroni!
Can the butterfly be made of copper alloy? Or must it have to be iron? Ivan Perelló [size=150:iu1l6t4o]Credo in Spatham, Corvus sum bellorum[/size]

All of the examples I have seen are of iron. There may be cupric alloy examples, but generally, iron would be a much better defence. It's also easier to work, being less brittle than bronze.
