A hand-painted Viking shield featuring Huginn and Muninn, the twin ravens of Odin, in black and white on a red field, perched among Norse knotwork above an iconic triquetra symbol.
Huginn ('Thought') and Muninn ('Memory') are Odin's twin ravens, sent out each dawn to fly across all nine realms and return each evening to whisper what they have seen and heard into the Allfather's ear — making Odin, in effect, all-seeing through his messengers. Their presence on a shield reflects one of the most recognisable pairings in Norse iconography, appearing across Viking Age art from picture stones to jewellery.
Deepeeka's reproduction is built from stout plywood, its rim bound in tightly stitched rawhide and its face hand-painted, with an antiqued steel boss at the centre offering ample room for the hand and three riveted wooden reinforcing bars on the reverse, the central one leather-wrapped as the grip.
