Metal Shield with Double-Headed Eagle – Imperial Heritage from Toledo, Marto
Symbolism of Power and Masterful Craftsmanship
The classic heater-shaped shield is handmade from sheet steel. Its surface is polished to a high mirror shine, giving it a luxurious appearance. The dominant feature is the relief depiction of the double-headed eagle with a crown and a crest on its chest. This symbol represents power, vigilance, and the union of East and West. The edges of the shield are lined with a row of decorative brass rivets (or gold-colored rivets), creating a beautiful contrast with the silver surface of the steel.

- Installation: The back of the shield is equipped with a sturdy metal chain, allowing you to hang it easily and securely on the wall.
- Notice: This is a decorative item. Although made of metal, it is not intended for fencing, battle re-enactment, or as protective gear. Strikes could damage the relief decoration.
