Image Langobard Shield Boss 7th Century.jpg right thumb 250px A Lombards Lombard shield boss from northern Italy, 7th century Metropolitan Museum of Art A shield boss , or umbo , is a round, wikt convex convex or conical piece of material at the centre of a shield . Shield bosses or sometimes, just bosses are usually made of thick metal but could also be made of wood. The boss was originally designed to deflect blows from the centre of round shields, though they also provided a place to mount the shield s grip. As time went on and heater shield s with curved bodies became more popular, and enarmes superseded the bar grip, the boss became more of an ornamental piece. Often, bosses are not present on non circular shields due to the differences in technique with a round shield, one makes a Punch strike punch ing motion towards an oncoming blow, while with a heater shield heater or kite shield , attacks are blocked by pivoting the shield about the body. A boss provides a significant advantage for deflecting blows when using a punching motion, but is not very effective when using a pivot to block an attack. Manufacture In medieval times, shield bosses were made by armourers out of sheets of iron or steel. The armourer started with a flat, relatively thin sheet and Sinking metalworking sank the metal into a bowl, which might then be planishing planished and polishing buffed .

File Geoffrey of Anjou Monument.jpg thumb 200px Norman style kite shield shown in the enamel tomb effigy of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou d.1151 at Le Mans A kite shield was a distinct type of shield from the 10th 12th centuries. It was either a reverse teardrop shape or later on, flat topped. The tapering point extended down to either a distinct or rounded point. Believed to be an evolution of the simple round shield purely to guard one whole flank of a rider when in combat, the shield gained popularity amongst professional soldiers as it allowed them to guard their foreleg when in a m l e. It was either flat in section, or featured a gradual curve, to better fit the contour of the human torso, much in the style of a scutum. The shield is most closely associated with the Normans, who were one of the first cultures to use it widely, and can be seen throughout the Bayeux Tapestry. The kite shield was an evolution in the development of shields, representing a change in the popular circular shape which had been dominant in Europe since at least 500 AD. The shield was still in widespread use throughout the 12th century, and is illustrated in art such as on the small Carlton in Lindrick knight figurine, but began to be phased out at the end of that century, and had largely disappeared by the 14th .... Modifications to the kite shield occurred gradually, the top first being truncated, then the tail shortened and the resultant smaller shield that developed is referred to as a heater shield.

Unlike most shield volcanoes, pyroclastic shields are formed mostly of pyroclastic and highly explosive eruption s rather than relatively fluid basalt ic lava issuing from vents or fissure vent fissure s on the surface of the volcano. They typically display low angle flank slopes and have little or no central collapse, although a shallow sag in the shield is commonly observed. Lava is commonly extruded after explosive activity has ended. The paucity of associated Plinian eruption Plinian fall deposits indicates that pyroclastic shields are characterized by low Plinian columns.
