A medieval shield here means a wooden or steel board in a European shape: kite, heater or round. Reenactors buy them to finish a kit. Everyone else buys them because a painted board on a wall does more work than a poster. Faces on this tag run from a 24 inch round up to a 48 inch teardrop, so check the wall before you check the price.
Kite, heater and one odd round
The Templar boards are the obvious pair. Crossmarch is black and white with a red cross pattee and an engraved gilt border. Palecross puts the same cross on a white field with a rawhide bound edge. Palewing is a 40 inch Norman kite, per pale black and white, with an engraved knotwork panel and a riveted rawhide rim, and Kiteward runs to 48 inches with a riveted steel rim and a leather guige. Wavewarden is a 34 inch teardrop with painted bands. On the heater side, Lionward stands 30 inches with a painted rampant lion, Quarterfell is quartered navy and white, and Cobaltward is a steel faced 30 inch board with a polished riveted border. Twinhawk is the outlier, a carved hardwood round with a double headed eagle.
Kite and buckler shapes sit in kite shields and bucklers, the rounds in Viking shields. Round shield against kite shield is worth ten minutes before you choose.
