|
Hello, I'm currently making and researching material for an early hungarian kit, with the magyar in mind, but the avar finds of Moschevaya Balka as prime clothing resource. What I'm unable to find for these peoples of that time is a shield.
I can't find anything in the Moschevaya Balka find, period depictions or modern interpretations (exept for a picture of a reenactor who used a standard, large, center-gripped round shield).
Does anyone know of any shields used by the magyar, avar, khazar or other close culture in the period of 8th to 9th century?
If not what is the closest you get/best bet? Kalkan shield? No shield? What?
Thanks in advance for any help and input.

Hello Baard!
It's good to see, that you working on an early hungarian kit Unfortunately I have not read much about this question, but on this week a good book will be published: http://www.helikon.hu/termek/ismeretterjeszte...et-3/1964/ if you speak hungarian, than it will be a good point to start, if you could get it That's not much, but I hope that my note was helpful
Good luck and work with the kit!

I guess that we will never know how do Avar and Magyar shields look like due to lack of photographic proof.
