Round Viking shield made of wood and canvas, with iron finish 1164000201

The large Viking shield we offer here is suitable for reenactment or light display , combat or sparring.

The round shield, suitable for display combat, consists of 3 layers of MDF (medium-density fibreboard) and is covered or glued on the front with a sturdy, natural-coloured canvas (so-called tarpaulin ). The fabric was left unpainted to give you the opportunity, if you wish, to personalise the sign with your own colours or motifs. With a little practical know-how and skill, you can transform the blank shield into an authentic Viking Age shield.

The edge of the shield is covered with rawhide, which is considered more impact-resistant and durable than tanned leather. It cushions shocks and knocks much better and thus prolongs the life of the sign.

The generously designed guard offers enough space even for strong Viking hands and is fixed firmly in position with four nails.

The back of the wooden shield is equipped with three nailed reinforcing strips made of pine wood. The middle bar also serves as a handle and is rounded for a comfortable hold at the level of the shield hole.
