The back of the shield features three strong adjustable leather straps that allow you to carry it at the arm or hang it over the shoulder. The back also has a leather-covered padding to cushion the impact of blows against the shield.
The steel boss is not mounted. You have to do it yourself, either with the six screws with round heads that come with the delivery or with own your rivets or nails.
With just 2850 g, this shield is quite light and thus well-suited for Reenactment.
