the large rounded shields common to Gorean infantry in the north, behind which a warrior might crouch. . .? Blood Brothers of Gor, page 416

The round shield, concentric overlapping layers of hardened leather riveted together and bound with hoops of brass, fitted with the double sling for carrying on the left arm, was similarly unmarked. Normally the Gorean shield is painted boldly and has infixed in it some device for identifying the bearer’s city. If this shield were intended for me, and I had little doubt it was, it should have carried the sign of Ko-ro-ba, my city. Outlaw of Gor, page 21

The shields were round, and of wood, variously painted, some reinforced with iron bands, others with leather, some with small bronze plates. Marauders of Gor, page 32
