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. The shield measures approximately 41.5 cm in circumference There are two straps at the back of the shield for correct and optimal use and carrying Made of sturdy plywood Made in EU
