About This Design
Viking Raven Shield And Weapons Wooden Box Sign
A 3d rendering of a Viking shield along with a battle axe and spear superimposed on an old paper or parchment background image. The shield is decorated with a black raven (Corvus corax) painted on red leather. Add your own text.
The methods and materials used in the construction of Viking shields varied with place and time. This reconstruction is based on known examples. Norse shields, in contrast to those made by other groups were often made from relatively soft woods such as poplar and birch. Intentional or otherwise, this helped the shield absorb blow without failing. And, instead of a solid piece of wood, horizontal planks were joined - as is indicated by the bolt heads seen on the front of this shield - to prevent spitting along the grain. To further reduce the possibility of damage the face of the shield was often covered by leather and a leather rim strip was added. Both absorbed blows, protecting the underlying wood. The bowl-shaped metal boss in the centre protected the warrior's hand.
