One of Yarema’s most masterfully carved Viking shields, this piece stands as a true testament to craftsmanship and Norse artistry. Inspired by the flowing elegance of the Urnes style, its intricate carvings weave across the surface, encircling a hand-hammered iron shield boss—a striking centerpiece that embodies both strength and tradition.
Crafted from premium pine planks, each piece is meticulously joined to ensure durability and authenticity. Measuring an impressive 29 inches in diameter, the shield is bordered with genuine top-grain leather, adding to its historical accuracy and timeless appeal.
More than just a shield, this is a work of art—an heirloom worthy of the Viking spirit. Whether displayed as a statement piece or passed down through generations, it carries with it the legacy of warriors, artisans, and those who honor the past.
