Stainless Steel Shield with Etched Rampant Lion – 24k Gold
Symbolism: The Lion Rampant
The shield depicts the so-called Lion Rampant. It is one of the most common and respected heraldic figures, symbolizing fearlessness and royal power. You will find this motif in the coats of arms of many historical lands, including the Kingdom of Bohemia, Scotland, Flanders, and ancient León. Whether you are a patriot, a lover of British history, or an admirer of knightly virtues, this shield will represent the highest values on your wall.
Craftsmanship and Installation
The shield has the classic "heater" shape used in the High Middle Ages. It is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is low-maintenance and rust-resistant. The contrasting design is created by etching, ensuring that the motif will not peel off like paint. The shield is designed as a wall decoration. It is equipped with a chain on the back for hanging. Thanks to its dimensions (nearly 90 cm / 35 inches in height), it will become the dominant feature of any room.
