David Scott Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The British Museum Blog popped up this great article - How to make an Iron Age shield (out of bark) Although the dating of this artefact is Iron age, it could certainly be considered a type of hide or wicker shield found in Weapons & Equipment. I'd certainly give it to aldryami. https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/how-make-iron-age-shield-out-bark 3 1 2 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

The Enderby Shield was published whilst I was writing Armies & Enemies and so bark shields and how they are made is mentioned in the book.
