Rivets for umbo are essential elements in the authentic construction of historical shields for HEMA. These small metal pieces, inspired by medieval manufacturing techniques, ensure the solid attachment of the umbo to the body of the shield. Their use allows for the faithful reproduction of the structure of Viking shields and historical targes. Available in different sizes and styles, these rivets offer practitioners and artisans the opportunity to create or restore shields with a concern for historical detail. Whether it's steel rivets for maximum authenticity or brass for an aesthetic touch, these components are indispensable for anyone wishing to experiment with shield construction using traditional methods.
