  Fafnir’s Bane Viking Shield

  SKU: AH4488

  This hand-painted Viking shield features Fafnir, the fearsome dragon of Norse legend, whose greed and treachery became the stuff of myth.

  In the Volsunga Saga, Fafnir was once a dwarf, transformed into a monstrous serpent after slaying his own father to claim a cursed hoard of gold, retreating into the wilderness to guard his treasure and terrorise all who approached. His reign ended when the hero Sigurd struck him down from beneath as the dragon crawled over a hidden pit, claiming both glory and a cursed fortune that would follow him ever after.

  The shield is edged with natural rawhide for protection against sword and axe cuts, available in 60cm and 80cm diameters. Deepeeka’s reproduction recreates that dramatic saga scene, part of our newest additions.

  Draken Viking Raider Ship Shield

  SKU: AH4487

  This hand-painted Viking shield carries a dragon-prowed longship, or drakkar, motif, evoking the raiding ships that carried Norse warriors across the seas of Northern Europe.

  The drakkar, named for the carved dragon heads mounted on its prow, became one of the most enduring symbols of the Viking Age, striking genuine fear into coastal communities across Europe when spotted approaching from the water.
