The shield’s frame was made from planks of sturdy wood, often overlaid with a tough layer of leather or rawhide, which provided additional strength and resilience. This layered construction made Viking shields highly effective at absorbing and dispersing the force of incoming blows, protecting the warrior behind it. The shield’s outer surface could be further reinforced with metal fittings, such as rims or boss (a central metal disc), enhancing its durability and defensive capabilities
