I got the plans from Peter Connolly. He had made a Study of the the Fayoun Shield with Florian Himmler of the Regensburg University. He send me a detailled drawing with all the measurements and the correct place for the inside rings used to transport the shield found on the original.
Erik König from Aurificina Treverica made the wood in Birtch, then I glued two pieces of whool. The whool was ten impregnated with a mixture of bone and fish glue.
Design is based on the arch of Orange, the colors are made with pigments and caseine. The colors are taken from 3 fragments of paintings from Pompeï showing republican shields that Erik had in pictures in one of his huge library. All al them had that strange blue color inside.
Ira König helped me with the painting technique, using a fresco technique, that does look not too precise when you are close, but a relief impression when you back up a meter or two.
A few details are still missing thus, but I plan to finish them by the end of august when I come back from vacation.
I hope that this answer your question.
