&lt;div&gt;==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
These are some variations of how Thorin Oakenshield&#039;s shield might have looked. The challenge was to design a shield in regard to Mr. Tolkien&#039;s description as stated in &amp;quot;The Peoples of Middle-Earth&amp;quot; (Harper Collins,2002 paperback edition, p.281):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thorin&#039;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.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
