A shield is a type of personal armor, meant to intercept attacks, either by stopping projectiles such as arrows or redirecting a hit from a sword, mace, battle axe or similar weapon to the side of the shield-bearer.
Shields vary greatly in size, ranging from large panels that protect the user's whole body to small models (such as the buckler) that were intended for hand-to-hand-combat use. Shields also vary a great deal in thickness; whereas some shields were made of relatively deep, absorbent, wooden planking to protect soldiers from the impact of spears and crossbow bolts, others were thinner and lighter and designed mainly for deflecting blade strikes.
In prehistory and during the era of the earliest civilizations, shields were made of wood, animal hide, woven reeds or wicker. In classical antiquity, the Migration Period and the Middle Ages, they were normally constructed of poplar tree, lime or another split-resistant timber, covered in some instances with a material such as leather or rawhide and often reinforced with a metal boss, rim or banding. They were carried by foot soldiers, knights and cavalry.

Like she's screaming in pain we're smiling proud when we
gain the convenience of the
resource waste. Spoiled,boiled,in profusions oil, on a
trip from the luxury joint
we've lost the reverence that we once had for her.
Suck,suck,suck the blood,we're
all vampires stealing from our mother.Exploting her body
the next day we ignore.
Mother Earth is forced to be our whore.With our tasteful
tortureways we'll plague
her until the very end of days.So is it true that noone
really cares? Is it true?
