Viking Age Anglo Saxon Warriors Bjorn Norman Combat Round Norse Quadrant Shield

Description

This shield was the most important piece of defensive equipment available to most Anglo-Saxon warriors during the Viking Age. This Viking Bjorn Anglo-Saxon Combat Shield is a beautiful hand-painted wooden shield featuring a quadrant design inspired by Viking and Norse shields of old. It features a heavy metal boss in the center, and has leather lining the border secured by steel studs. Larger shields such as this would have been of greater use in pitched battles, where they provided greater protection from projectile weapons and were necessary to construct a shield wall against the enemy. This shield would be perfect for that upcoming Renaissance Festival, LARP, or reenactment in your area.
