Decorative bosses
Gold leaf
A metal shield boss that has been covered in gold leaf.
Painted Bosses
A metal shield boss that has been covered in paint.
To the best of my knowledge no shield boss has been found with traces of paint still adhering to it. Also the painting of bosses seems unlikely as period paints do not have the necessary adhesive properties.
