This Medieval shield features an elaborate renaissance cross design painted over an airbrushed white burst background. The Medieval Cross shield is made out of a .5 inch thick smooth composite wood, which is considerably stronger than plywood. Dual leather straps are used to secure the arm along the back one going over the forearm and one intended to be gripped or held. The Medieval Cross shield has also been applied with several coats of varnish to further protect and preserve it from wear. The Wooden Medieval Cross Shield measures about 30 inches in diameter. This Wooden Medieval Cross Shield would be perfect for that upcoming Renaissance Festival in your area or maybe some backyard brawling between friends. This wooden shield would also make a great gift for that Renaissance enthusiast for someone you know.
