Summary
These are some variations of how Thorin Oakenshield's shield might have looked. The challenge was to design a shield in regard to Mr. Tolkien's description as stated in "The Peoples of Middle-Earth" (Harper Collins,2002 paperback edition, p.281):
"Thorin's shield was cloven and he cast it away, and hewing with an axe a branch of an oak tree he held it in his left hand to ward off the strokes of his foes or to wield as a club. Thus he got his name, or also because in memory of this he bore ever after at his back a shield made of oak wood without colour or device, and vowed to do so until he was hailed again as king."
