Medieval steel shield 13th century,
In the 12th century with the introduction of the pot
helmet, the individual knight could no longer be
recognized by his face, and another means of
identification became necessary. Therefore their
shields were painted in boldly contrasting colours and
because armorial bearings were also designed for
battle, they preferred displays of fierce animals. We
are offering a reenactors’ copy of such a dragon shield
made from steel, reinforced in the centre and with a
wooden grip attached by 2 screws. Shield dimensions:
68 cms.(27″) x 49cms.(19″)
These shields are available in plywood or steel sheet as
per your choice
