Leather Pauldron "Yggdrasil and Mjöllnir", Viking Style - Outlet
Are you looking for a striking accessory for your Viking or fantasy costume? This leather pauldron (sold as a single piece) is an excellent choice. It is crafted from genuine leather and consists of two plates joined by sturdy rivets, giving it a robust yet elegant appearance. The main, larger plate features an impressive and detailed embossing that combines the Tree of Life Yggdrasil and Thor's Hammer Mjöllnir. These two powerful symbols from Norse mythology will add authenticity and strength to your character. Thanks to its clever fastening system – a leather loop at the top for attaching to a gorget, cuirass, or chest harness, and an elastic cord at the bottom for securing it to the arm – the pauldron fits perfectly and doesn't restrict movement. It is the ideal choice for LARP, cosplay, theatre, or light historical re-enactment. Further product information ...

Symbolism and Construction
This pauldron is not just an ordinary piece of armour. Its design is deeply rooted in Norse mythology. Yggdrasil, the immense ash tree, is the cosmic tree that runs through and connects all nine worlds. It is a symbol of life, the cosmos, and the interconnectedness of all things. Mjöllnir, the hammer of the god Thor, is one of the most powerful weapons in Norse mythology, capable of shattering mountains. For the Vikings, it was a symbol of protection, strength, consecration, and blessing.
The construction from genuine cowhide is two-part. The upper, smaller plate serves as an articulated joint and is riveted to the lower, main plate, which bears the embossing and covers the shoulder. The edges are carefully finished to prevent fraying and ensure a comfortable feel. The top fastening loop is wide enough for most straps on gorgets or cuirasses. The bottom elastic cord with a leather toggle allows for easy and quick tightening around the bicep.

Important Notice: This is a costume accessory. This leather armour is not certified protective equipment and is not intended for full-contact combat, buhurt (HMB), or the Battle of the Nations. It provides only basic protection within the context of LARP rules.
To ensure your pauldron serves you well and looks great for a long time, we recommend regular leather care. Protect it from prolonged exposure to moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature (never on a heater or in direct sunlight!). From time to time, you can treat it with a suitable leather care product, such as balm or wax, to keep it supple and durable.
For a complete look, we recommend combining this pauldron with other leather armour pieces, such as leather gorgets, bracers, or a leather cuirass.
