Svalinn Vikings Norsemen Handmade Shield - Hardwood Genuine Leather Wrapped

Svalinn is the name of the Legendary Norse shield which stands between the sun and Earth, preventing the sun from scorching all existence. Vikings were the giant and tough warriors which carried into battle a shield along with other weapons of choice. The shield was almost always carried in one hand and made of wood with each shield having some of it's own unique features and leather wrapped designs. This reproduction shield is handmade with solid hardwood and wrapped in very fine 100% genuine leather. Around the edge is a hand etched pattern and the shield also features brass ornaments all around it. The rear of this historical shield has a genuine leather adjustable arm strap and steel handle grip.

This is an authentic Viking shield reproduction made by hand and is not a mass-produced item. Due to the nature of making it with original hand working tools, slight variations may exist from the pictures.
