Wooden Fenrir Viking shield.
To begin with, the large, magnificent Fenrir Viking shield is made of 13 mm-thick wood and adorned with a stylized Fenrir wolf motif.
In Germanic mythology,
Fenrir is one of the world's three executioners, along with Hel and the Midgard serpent Jörmungandr. All three are children of the mischievous god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. Fenrir fights against the existing order and ultimately embodies the annihilation of the world. Indeed, the gods recognize his dangerousness, so they chain him to a rock with a ruse and sink him deep into the earth.
The wolf is chained until he finally breaks his chains and devours Odin. Widar, Odin's son, kills Fenrir, but it's too late: the Father of all gods falls, and with him the order of the world.

How to use your Warrior shield?
Known the world over as great and brave warriors, the Vikings were highly effective in their attacks and protection.
The Vikings used a highly effective war formation that enabled them to weaken their enemies without suffering major losses. Once their enemies were weakened, they would break their lines and crush them with ease.
This formation is known today as the "shield wall".
In addition, they decorated their shields with runes or animal figures, symbols referring to the Nordic gods. But their aims were also strategic. Indeed, the
Fenrir Viking shield being painted, prevents water from being absorbed by the wood, making it much heavier.
