Jewelry: Nordic Viking Shield

Nordic Viking Shield

$15.00

Product Description:
Our Nordic Viking shield is made of metal alloy
and comes with a black leather weaved chain. The Viking shield can be worn by
men or woman.
In the Viking age, fighting men and maidens (such as Lagertha) used large,
round, wooden shields gripped in the center from behind an iron boss. A shield
is one of the most symbolic elements from the Viking Age.
A Viking's primary defensive weapon was the shield. Because it was round, it was
called rönd. Shields were about a yard across. Only the buckle and the rim was
made of iron. The rest was made of light wood such as pine, spruce, maple or
yew. Rawhide covered the surface and the shield had bright colors: yellow and
black or red and black. The color could also send a message. Red shields
signaled war. A white shield meant peace. It must have been terrifying to see a
Viking ship with a row of red shields on each side landing on your coast.
Vikings wielded their shields not only to stop blows, but also to deflect the
enemy's sword. That is why shields were so light and rather small. They were
adapted to a nimble art of fencing. From Icelandic sagas, we know how Vikings
used shields in combat.
The rim of the shield could be used as an edge to strike the enemy in the face.
Shields were employed not only on the battlefield but also in single combat.
Conflicts could be settled by duels and this was even a legitimate method of
resolving legal cases. The saying "Might makes right" was very true in the
Viking Age and the shield helped make that a reality.
