Which historical shield shapes of the Middle Ages typically used this Norman shield boss and how was it mounted in comparison to other models?

This Norman shield boss was typically used on the so-called Norman shield (also known as the dragon or almond shield), which emerged in the 11th century and is known for its characteristic, downward-pointing shape. It was also used on early medieval round shields, such as those used by Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. Unlike other models, this boss was traditionally permanently attached to the shield with steel rivets through pre-drilled holes, although with curved shield shapes, prior adjustment of the boss's curvature may be necessary.
