Shield Bosses
#1
Does anyone have good photos of reconstructions or original equipment for shield bosses specifically for a scutum. I have seen photos of simple iron and bronze umbos. But are there any suctum umbos that are very decorative outside of the the one found in the Tyne that belonged to Dubitatis?

I was thinking of taking the shield bosses found in the Guttman collection (the high relief Medusa Head or the other very decorative shield boss that currently escapes me) and having either one made into a scutum umbo. Bascially have the shield boss in the center with a rectangular or hexagonal plate around it.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
