LARP Round Shield Fehu – 50cm Foam Shield with Rune

LARP Round Shield Fehu – 50cm Foam Shield with Rune

Design with the Power of the Rune

The design of this shield combines ancient Nordic symbols and elements of the Fehu rune. The shield surface imitates wooden planks painted a vibrant turquoise-blue colour. In the centre of the shield, the Fehu rune is depicted large in a dark grey to black colour, creating a strong visual contrast. The robust central boss and the rim with rivets in a dark metallic look give the shield an authentic Nordic touch.

Material and Construction for LARP

The shield is crafted from durable and safe Polyurethane (PUR) foam, proven for LARP activities. The material is lightweight (the shield weighs only approx. 900 g), allowing for quick reactions and easy handling, yet robust enough to withstand the impacts of padded LARP weapons. The shield's depth of approx. 9 cm contributes to its protective properties.
