Edit: Thanks to a response by Alan Curtis and Swampster on TMP. Turns out these are based on a few, probably ceremonial shields in Briton. I decided to clip the "points" off the top and bottom to create regular hexagonal shields.

Hexagonal Shield with Clipped Top and Bottom?
Painted up some Foundry Ancient Germans that have been in my lead pile for 10 years. I have a motley collection of shields to go with them, some Germanic, some Celtic or Roman, and even a few hoplite shields I won't be able to use. There were two shields in the collection I couldn't identify - hexagonal shields with half circle clips taken out of the top and bottom. I don't recognize them. Are they Germanic? Celtic? Hoping to get an ID on these...
