Strapped shield
A strapped shield or arm shield is a shield which is attached to a user’s lower arm via leather gripping straps on the back of the shield, sometimes together with a guige (or ‘shield sling’), rather than wielded via a centre shield grip.
Enarmes
The straps of a strapped shield are called enarmes or simply shield straps. Enarmes were held in place by riveting through the leather and the facing of the shield, and reinforced with small, square-cut washers. Enarmes are visible on shields in the Bayeux Tapestry.[citation needed]
