Back view of the Chertsey Shield, Iron Age, c400-c200 BC. The shape of this shield is oval and is the same as wooden shields used by the Iron Age people, the Celts, who lived in France, Germany and northern Italy at this time. It is complete and made from nine different pieces of bronze; the shield did not need a wooden backing and only the handle was made of wood.
