 STAND MY BATTLE BROTHERS OF THE NORTH! The Jarl has called the Great Moot, bringing the clans together. From all over, your countrymen have gathered on the historic island to hear the words of their greatest warrior king. You have joined them, packing lightly, knowing that the sea will give you the reward you need. For the wind, rain, and cold, you need only your raincoat, beard, and your durable Viking shield. Unlike the others with their pretentious engravings and bold emblems, you choose a quieter route, carrying your family crest with you and making sure it defends you. The shield has served you for years, and it will serve you until your final moment of glory on the battlefield. DETAILS The Viking Shield from Epic Armory is an 80cm round latex shield inspired by pre-10th century Vikings and Saxons. Featuring a smooth textured wooden face and iron paint finish, this shield is sure to impress your fellow warriors on the battlefield alongside a Viking Axe. Its slightly convex shape and iron overhang at the front provide an advantage in combat. The simple wood texture on the shield is plain and offers a great canvas to create your own custom insignia and emblems. Featuring a reliable and comfortable striking grip, feel confident that this latex and hard EVA foam shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance. Defend yourself against your enemies and make this Viking shield part of your epic fighting style. HISTORY Iron rims were sometimes used as a way to reinforce the shield. The Shield Boss, the round, convex piece of material in the centre 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.
