Shields were sometimes covered in leather, as is this one. As a result the paint is imperfect allowing for a hint of the underlying leather to be seen. Iron edges were rare; I have opted for leather edging as was often used. I opted for simple axe heads instead of the beard axe and more fanciful interpretations that are commonly employed by artists.
