Theng Shield 403094

 Like a tidal wave
 
The Thegn Shield from Epic Armory is a round latex shield ideal for coastal raids and offensive combat. Descend upon new lands in the name of your king or queen, crashing upon their shores like the force of a tidal wave. Your great deeds will bring renown to your ruler’s reign and reinforce their faith in your unwavering loyalty. Inspired by early Vikings and Saxons, this safe Live Action Role Play (LARP) shield is carved from EVA foam to look like real wood trimmed with vegan leather. Coated in a layer of durable latex, it features a wood grain texture on both the front and back. This attention to detail makes this shield truly unique and perfect for a completely immersive look. Even the tiny sculpted nails appear to be dug into braces!

 
This shield has been hand painted to look like natural wood with a white and blue spiral decorating its face. The paint has been artfully done to make it look worn and aged, perfect for your edgy fantasy game or on the TV screen. Its slightly convex shape and metallic painted protrusion on the front provide an advantage in combat, and its reliable grip fits comfortably in your hand thanks to its suede wrap and shape. Keep your shield in excellent condition with regular latex maintenance.

 Available in 70cm size and white/blue colour

 At the service of the king
 Thegn is the Old English word for 'servant' and was used to describe a class of nobles below the king.
 Thegn was also previously used to describe a soldier in the service of the king.
 The Shield Boss, the round, convex piece of material in the center of the shield, was used to deflect blows.
 
The roundwood style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages with light, non-splintering wood such as basswood, spruce, alder or poplar.
