Description of the Product Although not all vikings could afford a sword or an iron helmet, even the lowly spear men had a wooden shield. With the fighting techniques the vikings used, a soldier without a shield would pretty soon have been a dead soldier, so a shield was the first piece of protection a viking warrior acquired. They did not use the shield only as a protection, but also in the offensive line. This gorgeous viking shield can be used by a small warrior to guard against spears as well as fierce sword blows, meaning that the medical corps are not in such a high demand at all times on the battlefields. The shield is made of sturdy plywood and has a metal shield boss, just like a real viking shield. The back of the shield also has a wood-pattern finish for an authentic look on both sides. The shield measures approximately 41.5 cm in diameter Weight 540 g There are two straps at the back of the shield for correct and optimal use and carrying Made of sturdy plywood Made in EU
