This Round Shield is crafted from thick wood and fitted with a central steel Plate that is riveted onto the shield. 24" hand carved solid piece wood. This shield is detailed and better in person when held. Light weight and comes with a brown/black leather shoulder harness. Shield; .5 in/ 1.27cm thick wood. Finished in natural aged appearance. New and never used shield. No comparison to this handmade wooden piece; Foam props break down, tear, bend and not to mention are pretty expensive. Note; All my wood weapons are what I call props. Props are for show, pictures and role-play. If anything strikes upon my wood props in rough play the potential is there for breakage.
