 RAMSHACKLE GEAR Taking inspiration from the shape of the crescent shaped shields used by Peltasts in Ancient Greece, Epic Armoury's Raider Shield is a crescent shaped shield designed with ruinous raiders and warmongers in mind. Hand sculpted and painted, one side displays a hammered metal finish, the other a smooth dark surface. To give the shield a used look rusted effects have been added, and triangular rivets around the edges help give the impression that this shield has been modified and reinforced with scoured materials. The two pierced rings in the top corner of the shield are great details that add to its character and make this product stand apart from most other shields. The Raider Shield will work just as well for a goblin raider or brutal orc from a high fantasy realm as it will for a pillaging bandit or dark knight. Constructed from durable closed cell foam and coated with latex, this shield is more than ready for LARP battle. The three position grip and adjustable buckle straps found on the inner side will ensure that you keep a secure grip as you fight your way through your enemies. HISTORY A 'pelte shield' was a crescent shaped shield used by light infantry as their primary protection. It originated in Thrace and Paeonia in Ancient Greece. Made from wicker and covered in goat or sheep skin.
