You fear no storm or rising tide with y our Iarla Shield at your side! Inspired by early Vikings and Saxons, this Live Action Role Play (LARP) safe shield is carved from EVA foam to look like true wood. Coated in a layer of durable latex, it features a wood grain texture on both the front and back, something that makes this shield truly unique and perfect for an immersive look. You can even find small sculpted nails hammered into the braces, because attention to detail is so important. This shield has been hand-painted, with white paint decorating its face in an Icelandic design intended to help you on your path. Its slight convex shape and the metallic-painted boss on the front provides an edge in combat, and its reliable punch-grip fits comfortably in your hand thanks to its suede leather wrap and shape. Keep your shield in great condition with regular latex maintenance.
