Time and place for this shield boss?
#8
This article by Peter F. Stary in Germania is a classic but its in German and not as extensively illustrated as Brunaux and Rapin https://doi.org/10.11588/ger.1981.91654

Some archaeologists seem to think that shields shaped like a stretched hide, such as the shield from the Keltenmuseum in Hallein, were a thing in the Early Iron Age. I am sorry but I have no idea where people who know Iron Age shields in central and northern Europe hang out these days!
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
