Description
the Crusader Lion Shield is quite a beauty. Intricately hand painted with a red and black lion against a faded brown background, this is a historically accurate reproduction of the heater shields used during the Middle Ages. It has a triangular shape with rounded sides and a flat top. And what makes this a powerful piece is the rampant lion in position to attack its prey. This Medieval Heater shield is constructed from Poplar wood; it is reinforced with a overlaid linen binding and hand-painted. The back of the shield has a set of riveted leather straps for wearing it on the arm – it also has a longer strap for wearing the shield over the shoulder. It is finished with a padded leather pad to cushion the arm against impacts.
