Medieval Roman Empire Iron Shield

This is a 24-inch Medieval Roman Empire display shield made of iron, handcrafted and painted for a striking antique appearance. Designed with six mounting brackets on the reverse, this shield can accommodate up to three standard-sized swords (swords not included), making it a dynamic centerpiece. Inspired by the Holy Roman Empire's Coat of Arms, the double-headed eagle emblem signifies imperial power and historical significance. This shield's design traces back to the medieval era, evolving from the kite-shaped shields used during the Crusades to a more versatile triangular form that offers superior protection and maneuverability.
