Viking / Saxon planked shops all handmade shield

I am pleased to offer this Viking /Saxon shield

Hand made in England stained planked wood. 24 inch /61mm shield. Nice plain shield ready to use / display as is or to decorate to your liking.

perfect size for handling, handmade in as close shops to authentic Viking manner as is possible, with spruce planks not plywood for durability and pliability, Viking shield with thick real rawhide edging ( NOT dog chews !) and riveted/nails (like was used by the Vikings). Steel black hammered boss is 12 gauge, 3mm thick and is an 8 inch circle, should be plenty of room if you wear a gauntlet. weighs approx 4 kilos.

Very well made piece, that will take a beating or a great display item
