El Cid Campeador Shield

Exquisitely handcrafted in stainless steel with a polished finish. At the shields centre is a golden relief of the 11th century Spanish Hero of the Reconquista, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known as El Cid Campeador-Spanish for Champion. It depicts the hero knight riding on his steed in full armour. El Cid was a great war hero, a superior and extremely successful soldier of fortune, who apparently never lost a battle, and became noted for his heroism with his King, Alphonse VI, in the conquest of Toledo.

The triangular shield, known as a kite shield, is double reinforced steel with triple reinforced corners. Beautifully embellished detailing of riveted Golden fittings, frame a natural steel finish and adds to the stunning contrast which makes this shield so exquisite.

Comes with an attached hanging chain on the back which allows for easy wall mounting.
