Nimble and light, a buckler was impractical for defense against speedy things like arrows, but in close quarters, it excelled at deflecting and blocking an opponent's weapon with deft, effective hand-work. This buckler is crafted from one solid piece of iron and is based on a design out of the 14th century.
The shield would be perfect for Renaissance Festival in your area, some backyard brawling between friends, LARP events or historical reenactments.
