Anglo-Saxon Lenticular Shield
Marmoset Viewer
My father's shield. The slight dome-like curve is typical of these Lenticular styles of shield.
Just saw The Northman and was inspired to create something that existed within the period and raided the shed for an item to create.
An anglo saxon lenticular shield I recently created as a 1 (and a half) day prop study, trying to achieve a game-ready asset that is as close to the real item as possible. You can see the reference I used in the images included here. This shield was made and created by my father as part of our re-enactment society Regia Anglorum.

There are a few authenticity issues here, especially with the patches, but this shield is quite old at this point and the only reason I chose this prop was because of how gorgeous the weathering is.
The Textures are a single 4k texture set, and the model itself is under 3,000 triangles.
There was no photogrammetry as part of this process but I will experiment with it in the future.
The textures are all hand painted with some photographed images as bases for the leather and canvas.
Loved this prop and I hope to do more in the future.
