Elfshield

An elven Kiteshield

The typical elven Shield (S."Thand", Q."Turma" or "Tussa") was a great Almond or reversed tear-drop shaped Kiteshield but some elven warriors, as the guardians of the Gate of Gold in Gondolin, also used great Roundshields and there are hints towards Lozengal Shield types, at least in elvish heraldry,possibly in form of small shields or targes (S."Trum") and bucklers such as were used by the Sindar of Doriath and the early Teleri.
