Elf Shield

Elf Shield

Epic Armoury’s Elf Shield is a large 120 cm long shield inspired by historical kite and tower shields, but given an elven flair. A hand painted field on the shield provides great contrast to the winged heraldry. The rim is detailed to look like smooth golden wood, curved and elegant to match the elves’ natural grace.

Wear this Elf Shield vertically, horizontally, or diagonally with the use of a versatile leather T-grip on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

• Available in Sapphire Blue and Bright Red colors
