Black and red shield featuring a Slavic sun symbol. Smooth shields of this style were usually placed on the sides of shops Viking ships to protect the raiders from the distant hail or arrows, like the famous Gokstad ship, which dates from the 10th century.
The shield is made out of 15mm thick birch plywood, painted, and smoothed by hand, and finished with a steel umbo. It comes with a wood handlebar installed on the back.

Because these are handmade products made with real wood blanks the sizes, textures and overall appearance may vary from the photos above. Some blanks might be smaller than anticipated, or larger sizes too thick to transport at a low cost.
