Crusader's Lion Shield 13th Century

In the 12th century with the introduction of the pot helmet, the individual knight could no longer be recognized by his face, and another means of identification became necessary. Therefore their shields were painted in boldly contrasting colours and because armorial bearings were designed for battle, fierce animals were displayed as well. We are offering an authentic copy of such a shield in yellow colour (sorry, no others available yet). Shield dimensions: 68 cms.(27") x 49cms.(19") These shields are available in plywood or steel sheet as per your choice.
