Stained Wooden Nordic Cross Round Shield

A meticulously crafted Viking round shield constructed from vertical wooden planks showing a highly visible natural wood grain texture. The face features a simple yet striking Nordic cross layout, stained in a deep crimson red across the quadrants with a natural light-tan wood finish left exposed to form the cross arms. It is reinforced by a dark, weathered steel outer rim secured with small perimeter rivets and a heavy, blackened steel dome boss in the center to protect the handle grip. The shield is propped upright outdoors against a rugged backdrop of stacked gray and moss-covered stones.
