There is folklore that suggests this is where we get Friday the 13th from as being an unlucky day.   There is a Templar cross shield in the center of the main shield. Decorative simulated Fleur de lis grommets adorn the sides.  The chief, dexter chief, sinister chief and base have decorative golden accents to add a touch of regal elegance to this piece only a King would carry. This shield has been constructed to resemble a real Medieval Shield but without all the heavy lifting. 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 21 inches.
