GERMANENSCHILD ZN AM

Rustic concho of an ancient Germanic Shield, 29 x 45 mm, Antique brass plated, 2 rivet pins

The symbol of the ancient forces of the Germanic empire. So the sign was not only as protection against weapons of the opponent, but also as protection during sleep, as a shovel in the snow and to quickly overcome deep valleys as a toboggan. Warlords adorned with ornate, but very heavy shields, the warriors in the army often received only one with metal-reinforced wooden sign.
