This
shield's main decorative motif is the Vegvisir – Icelandic runic
compass used by travelers not to get lost on their voyages. It used to
be a powerful Viking symbol of protection. Furthermore, the shield
features a Viking-style braid and Futhark runes, all carved into the
plywood. This model is made of 15mm thick birch plywood, finished with
various stains and linen seed oil and acrylic-based varnish.
The shield can be used as a decorative wall hanger or as a functional piece for medieval reenactment or LARP.
