Wooden Crusader Lion Shield, Color : yellow

Listing ID #1003909

In the medieval days, it was a common enough sight to see a knight's heraldry emblazoned on his shield. This wooden crusader lion shield features a black rampant lion as the shield's main charge. This shield is made from quality wood and is a fully functional medieval shield. It is modeled after the typical heater shield that was used sometime after the middle of the 13th century. Like its medieval predecessor, this shield has a flat top and a triangular shape, with rounded sides that come to a point near the bottom. The lion is depicted as rampant, which means that it stands aloft of one hind leg, while the others are held out as though about to claw its prey, while its jaws are open as if about to bite (note that it could also be considered a salient lion, which is a leaping or pouncing lion, with all its paws taken off the ground). The lion is depicted as all black. The field of the shield, its background, is a faded yellow color. The shield measures approximately 28 inches tall, and at its widest point, it measures 20 inches wide. Simple and yet stunning in its design, this wooden crusader lion shield is a fantastic defense to carry into battle..and when you're not blocking attacks with it, it also makes a great display piece that you can hang on your wall to honor all of your battles and all of your victories.
