This Viking shield is unique because it features a Slavic sun symbol. Plank shields of this style were usually placed on the sides of Viking ships to protect the raiders from distant hail or arrows. The Gokstad ship, which dates from the 10th century, is a famous example of this type of Viking ship. This Viking shield is a great addition to any collection.
