Viking Shield

The Viking Shield (with Snake Design) is a modern artistic variation of the traditional Viking round shield, decorated with serpent motifs that symbolize power, protection, and Norse mythology.

Viking shields were functional and symbolic — warriors often painted them with bold designs to intimidate enemies and show clan identity.
