Large White Shield – Norman Kite Shield

Historic Norman Kite Shield Design for Versatile Use

This Large White Shield is inspired by the Norman Kite Shield, a design that became iconic during the 10th to 12th centuries. Favored by Norman knights for its elongated shape, the kite shield gave excellent protection for mounted warriors, covering the torso and legs while being manageable in weight. Its tapered bottom helped in easy maneuvering on horseback or on foot, while the broad upper section protected vital areas.

Solid Wood Construction with Waterproof Canvas

Crafted from durable solid wood and covered with waterproof white canvas, it provides a blank canvas for painting personal heraldry, emblems, or creative designs. The back has genuine leather straps with adjustable buckles, along with padded section for enhanced comfort and secure use.

Ideal for Events, Customisation, and Display

This white wooden Norman kite shield is perfect for historical reenactments, theatrical productions, LARP, or as a decorative centre piece. Its large, tapered design provides maximum protection while remaining manageable in size, and the adjustable leather straps ensure a comfortable fit for various users. The blank canvas invites personalisation, allowing enthusiasts to create historically inspired or entirely unique designs.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wipe with a damp cloth
• Avoid exposure to moisture to preserve wood
• Store in a dry place when not in use
• Ensure leather straps and padding remain dry

Note: There might be slight variations in wood grain, canvas texture, or leather finish due to the handcrafted nature of each shield.
