We also know that greeks used shields with three dimentional devices. The Saturus face is one of the commonest of the 3D devices in attic pottery, and we have concrete archeological evidence that they were used in 5th and 4th century macedonian hoplite shields. Some of them were made from a mix of linen and painted and guilded stucco, and one was a riveted wooden sculpture on the face of a shield.
The Olympia bronze emblems are also three dimentional to various degrees, but it is certain that they were not the only ones.
Finally, even the shield from the Vergina tomb II can be safely considered a shield with a three dimentional device...
