King Arthur Shield – Three Crowns (Polished Metal)
Symbolism: The Coat of Arms of the High King
The focal point of the shield is a rectangular brass appliqué featuring a relief of three crowns on a textured background. In heraldic tradition, this emblem (often on a blue field, presented here in a luxurious gold finish) is attributed to King Arthur himself. The three crowns symbolize his dominion over three realms or his status as the "Once and Future King." The corners of the shield are further adorned with brass fittings featuring floral motifs, adding elegance to the piece.
Craftsmanship and Installation
The shield features the classic "heater" shape with a pointed bottom. It is made of high-quality metal with a finish that mimics polished stainless steel. The entire perimeter is lined with decorative brass rivets. The back is coated with protective paint and equipped with a sturdy metal chain, allowing you to hang the shield easily and safely on your wall.
