The Steel Greek Bull Shield is a beautiful concave or dome shaped shield like the traditional Greek hoplite shields of old. The shield bears a classic Greek Bull design, a symbol of strength and valor. As you can see, a flat brace has been attached to the back to make carrying and wielding the shield more comfortable. Heavy leather straps are used to secure the arm along the back one going over the forearm and one intended to be gripped or held. They are spaced about 11 inches apart and positioned to provide optimum balance when holding the shield. The Steel Greek Bull Shield has also been applied with a coat of topcoat clear coat to further protect and preserve it from wear. Our Steel Greek Bull Shield measures a large 27 inches in diameter, and weighs 8 pounds and 7 ounces. Get a stronger and more durable one right here while you can!
