Metal Shield with Heraldic Lion – Knightly Decor by Marto
The Shine of Steel and Lion Symbolism
The shield features the classic heater shield shape, which was popular in the High Middle Ages. It is made of hand-shaped sheet steel with a highly polished surface that resembles the mirror shine of silver. The center is dominated by a rectangular plate with a high relief of a lion, detailed from mane to claws. The overall impression is underscored by decorative brass rivets (or gold-colored rivets) that line both the perimeter of the shield and the central motif, creating an elegant contrast.
Usage and Installation
This shield is designed as an exclusive wall decoration.
- Installation: A sturdy metal chain is attached to the back, allowing you to hang the shield easily and securely.
- Notice: This is a decorative item. Although made of metal, it is not intended for historical fencing, re-enactment, or as protective gear. Strikes could irreversibly damage the relief decoration and finish.
