Huginn & Muninn’ Viking Shield

Huginn & Muninn’ Viking Shield

Huginn & Muninn’ Viking Shield Dia  
This Viking shield is a 13mm thick plywood piece with two ravens, representing Odin’s messengers Hugin and Munin. The twin bird motif is a recurring theme in Viking art, as the ravens fly over Asgard and Midgard and return to the Allfather of the Gods, Hrafnáss. The shield has a steel boss in its center, tightly held with four rivets, and rawhide edge. The back is fitted with three wooden reinforcement slats, with the central slat acting as a handle and leather-wrapped in its middle section. This early medieval wooden shield is a great accessory for re-enactment, LARP, stage, or TV/film, and makes a great collectible or display piece for Viking Age enthusiasts.
