Handcrafted round shields in the Norse tradition — wooden planks, a steel boss protecting the hand grip, and hand-painted designs from ravens to runic patterns. At 24 inches, they hang as commanding wall decor and serve costume and reenactment duty. Pair one with a hand-forged axe or sword for a complete Viking display.

Built Like the Originals

Viking shields were plank-built wooden rounds with a central iron boss — light enough to move fast, tough enough to catch an axe. Ours follow that construction with wooden bodies, steel bosses and rear grips, finished in painted Norse motifs. Complete the wall with a battle axe, Viking sword or helmet.

Viking Shield FAQ

What size are your Viking shields?

Around 24 inches in diameter — the practical mid-size used for both display and costume/reenactment wear.

Can these be used for reenactment combat?

They're built for display and light costume use. For full-contact combat reenactment, dedicated sparring-grade shields are recommended.

How do I hang a shield on the wall?

The rear grip works as a hanging point on a sturdy hook or picture anchor rated for the shield's weight.

Are the designs hand-painted?

Yes — each shield's Norse design is painted by hand, so minor variations make every piece unique.
