Shield Info:
This 33" wide, 13 pound round shield is built to an authentic Germanic structural design based on current archeological combat research of shields during the Vendel period and Viking age. We based our design on a multitude of discoveries found in burial mounds across Scandinavia and Iceland. We also took into account the old Norwegian war law codes and scriptures in many sagas describing the construction of these round shields. We built our shields with two layers of coniferous wood in a ply construction to double the strength. We have a tanned leather hide on the face of the shield, which greatly increases strength when handling weapon strikes. We have built these with a thick rawhide edge stitched with rawhide lace for superior durability. The edge is finished off with 1/8" thick iron clamps that are fastened with traditional steel rivets. We offer two boss types. Icelandic domed or Vendel period spiked! Choose your boss and we will build it custom!
