The Medieval Norse Historical Wooden Blue Spiral Viking Round Shield is a large Viking inspired round shield with a classic blue white spiral design. The Viking shield is made of a smooth composite wood which is considerably stronger than plywood. Stainless steel studs line the black border and a metal disc boss has been bolted in the center. The Viking shield will hold up well against the rigors of moderate combat. The painted surface of the shield has also been applied with several coats of varnish to protect it from wear. On the Viking shields backside, dual leather straps are used to secure the arm. The wooden Viking shield measures about 24 inches in diameter more than enough to cover your arm up to the elbow. Whether for backyard brawling or for display purposes, this shield will suit your purposes wonderfully. MANUFACTURED & SOLD BY NAUTICALMART INC.
