My Norse/Viking Shield

Hand-made, battle-ready combat shield made in 2013 by Shields of Rouen (www.facebook.com/pages/Shields…) and recently repainted by a local artist Korrine Maher. I love how it turned out and look forward to adding more items to my collection.

Yes, I know, the paint-scheme is quite anachronistic. It is made up of elements of my arms, which did not come in to use until much later in the middle-ages. I thought it might be fun to see how my coat-of-arms might have looked if elements of heraldry had existed earlier.
