Description
Ancient Greek hoplite shield bearing the Griffin, the legendary half eagle, half lion creature.
The shield, aspis in Greek, was carried by Greek infantry (hoplites) of various periods and is often referred to as a hoplon.
A hoplon shield was a deeply dished shield made of wood. Some shields had a thin sheet of bronze on the outer face, often just around the rim. In some periods, the convention was to decorate the aspis; in others, it was usually left plain.
This is a full sized shield, specially designed for reenactments. Excellent realistic feeling and fully functional.
