Viking Round Shield Wooden Shield with Steel Boss & Rim

Command the field like a true Norse warrior with this Viking Round Wooden Shield, a handcrafted piece inspired by authentic finds from the Viking Age. Measuring a full 30 inches in diameter, it offers both practical coverage for combat training and a striking presence as a display piece.

The shield is constructed from solid wood, rimmed with polished steel, and centered with a domed steel boss, just as Viking warriors carried to deflect blades and absorb heavy blows. Each detail from the riveted fittings to the smooth wooden face echoes the shields found across Scandinavia and Northern Europe during the 9th to 11th centuries.

On the reverse, a reinforced wooden grip allows reliable handling, whether for stage combat, or LARP events. Beyond function, this shield doubles as a powerful decorative piece, perfectly suited for a mead hall, study, or historical collection.

Bring the strength, spirit, and legacy of Norse raiders into your battle or your home with this commanding Viking shield.
