Hand Forged Fantasy Barbarian Rustic Shield,16 Gauge Steel for LARP & Display

Step onto the battlefield of legend with this Fantasy Barbarian Round Shield, a piece inspired by centuries of warrior tradition. Crafted from sturdy 16-gauge mild steel and measuring a commanding 22 inches across, this shield is designed for both LARP combat and striking display.

The hammered finish pays homage to hand-worked medieval armory, where each dent and mark spoke of the blacksmith’s hammer and the warrior’s resilience. This style draws inspiration from medieval European and Norse round shields with a fantasy barbarian flair, making it perfect for those who want a piece that stands out.

In history, round shields were the lifeblood of close combat defense—from Viking longships to medieval mercenaries. Warriors relied on them for shield walls, deflecting blows, and counter-striking. This modern recreation keeps the rugged spirit alive, but with a fantasy edge suited to LARP and stage battle.
