Shield

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

Shields are defensively-formed and shaped pieces of metal and/or wood used to block arrows, swords and spears.

Shields were commonplace defense pieces in Tolkien mythology. Servants of good and evil alike made and used them for use by soldiers mounted on horseback, or on foot. The warriors of both Rohan and Gondor used shields to protect themselves.
