Very nice,Kineas! Congratulations on your shield. Very nice pattern and of cource very nice fittings.It's interesting you placed onl four rings.Although this is very accurate,it is indeed unusual from re-enactors. One opinion is to use two separate ropes or even double ropes,for each pair of rings,the upper and lower,and do not attach them to the antilabe.
I also like the black circle on the inside. Although I believe when depicted on vases it indicates bronze re-enforcement,it gives a nice and unique note on yours.
