Description

This is the medieval shield of the legendary leader El Cid who captured the Moorish Kingdom of Valencia after a nine-month siege. This shield is made in burnished 20 gauge steel with bronzed embossing. Comes with an attached chain so you can display it on your wall, and has a bracket for adding one or two swords on the back for display.

Shields came in a variety of shapes and sizes, and were used throughout the centuries for defense. A shield of this type would have been used by only the wealthiest of knights, due to its brass bindings and ornate decoration.
