Viking Round Shield with Celtic Cross Motif, hand-painted, 61 cm Ø The colourful, visually appealing Viking shield we offer here is made of approx. 13 mm thick plywood, covered with linen, and elaborately adorned with a hand-painted Celtic cross with knotwork designs. In its centre, the shield features a generously sized steel boss that is tightly held in place with four rivets, and leaves enough space to accommodate even stout Viking hands. The shield’s back is painted black and fitted with a handle made of solid wood. Although this early medieval wooden shield may be slightly too light and thin for full contact, it is still a great accessory for re-enactment, LARP, stage or TV/film and will make your transformation into a proud Norse warrior just perfect. Besides, it also makes for a nice collectible or display piece for all Viking Age enthusiasts.
