Buckler

A small convex steel shield used for deflection. Historically, the buckler was a parrying shield used in fencing with smallswords or rapiers; however, the buckler was also used as a shield strapped directly to the arm or shoulder such that a weapon could be wielded in each hand (or with both hands) and still have access to a shield.
