Looking to add a personal touch to your décor? Why not paint your favourite art, whether it be medieval or contemporary, on this remarkable heater shield? Our heater shield, inspired by the late medieval European shield design, serves as an excellent addition to your weapon kit. It can be customized to suit your individual taste or carried in its original form. Whether you're aiming to infuse your setting with a touch of medieval flair or looking to enhance your shield collection, this versatile shield has got you covered! Meticulously HANDFORGED from tough 18 gauge MILD STEEL, it is AVAILABLE AS BOTH BLACKENED AND POLISHED. Both versions can be used for medieval evocation, medieval fairs, and ren fairs as well. It is approximately 18.5 inches wide and 24 inches long. The metal handle is covered with wooden fittings and comes next to a genuine leather strap. Note: The polished version is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
