Harrison has defined this type into 2 categories: [HARRISON & Ó FLOINN 2014]:p.116
Irish Sea A Type
- Ireland, Dublin: South Great George's Street (99E414:197:1)
- Scotland, Arran: Millhill, Lamlash
- Norway, Vestfold: Kaupang. Only known example outside of Britain and Ireland [HARRISON & Ó FLOINN 2014]:p.119.
Irish Sea B Type
There are 3 known examples:
- Ireland, Dublin: College Green 1819 (Sirr 266)
- Scotland, Colonsay: Kiloran Bay. Dia:9cm H:11.5cm (top missing)
- Scotland, : Balladoole
Irish
Carolingian
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.
