Lion Shield
The Lion Shield from Epic Armoury is a semi-curved kite shield modeled on the shields carried by 10th to 12th century Normans. A beautifully detailed laser-cut heraldry pattern sits front and center, making it a natural fit for an infantryman or knight, while the rest of the shield is handmade and painted to resemble lacquered wood with a metal rim.
Three leather arm straps on the back, anchored through hard EVA foam, let you wear this shield left- or right-handed with a solid, lasting grip. The latex build is made to withstand repeated LARP combat as long as you keep up with regular latex maintenance.
