Viking shield Fafnir

Product description

The strong wooden shield features an umbo, dragon decorations and a leather edge. The dragon held deep meaning to the Vikings and was considered a symbol of power, courage and protection. Amongst the Vikings, the dragon was known as a mythical creature that both inspired fear and commanded respect. It was associated with the art of war, cosmic battle and protection against evil. Dragon ornaments were often found on shields and other valuable objects, as an expression of strength and bravery. Our Viking shield with dragon motif brings this rich Viking tradition to life. The shield has been carefully crafted with an eye for detail and craftsmanship. The Viking shield features a hand-forged shield knob and steel edge.
