War was a common pastime in the middle ages. It is no wonder that it is the period that generated some of the greatest soldiers and military units in history. This shield has been constructed to resemble a real Medieval Shield but without all the heavy lifting. Decorative grommets and a button with star cut edges in the middle accent this battle shield with a rugged design.  This piece is great for pretend play for your little ones.  You too can join in and battle that rowdy youngster. This piece is constructed of a heavy duty Polyurethane Foam with nylon straps. Overall length is 18 inches.
