Hi guys,
looking for some nice pictures of Migartion period shields that are found in the ´Germanic´ lands.
Does anybody know anything about colours, shapes and colours? Especially colour designs... Want to make some round shields that fit in the 4th/5th century AD for some Frisian Germanics.. But don't have much inspiration on the colour and the pattern.

This is one from the National Museum in Copenhagen, IIRC within the period you're looking for, or slightly earler:
Thanks for posting the shields. I don't think I have seen those before. Any info on the construction? Very curious about that rim.www.viking-shield.com
