Viking Shield with Fenrir Motif, hand-painted, 61 cm

In Germanic mythology Fenrir is one of the world’s three tormentors, together with Hel and the Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr. All three are the children of the malicious god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. Fenrir fights the existing order and ultimately embodies the annihilation of the world. The centre of the shield features a generously sized steel boss that is tightly held in place with four rivets, and leaves enough space to accommodate even the most stout of Viking hands. The shield’s back is painted black and fitted with a handle made of solid wood. Although this early medieval wooden shield may be slightly too light and thin for full contact, it is still a great accessory for re-enactment, LARP, stage or TV/film and will transform you into a proud Norse warrior. The shield makes for a nice collectible or display piece for all Viking Age enthusiasts.
