Knight shield fleur-de-lis wood blue silver for boys

Bright blue next to silver-grey, with blue lilies as a coat of arms: that is the first thing you see with this shield. The fleur-de-lis knight shield is a wooden children's shield in a classic shield shape with a printed lily coat of arms, intended for boys. It is perfect for a knight party, a medieval theme party or a dress-up party.

What is the knight shield made of and how do you hold it?

• The shield consists of 95% wood and 5% polyester, so it feels sturdy in the hand.
• The front is blue with silver-grey and divided into four sections by a band with a rosette in the middle.
• In the top right is one large lily, in the bottom left are three smaller ones in a row.
• On the back are two black carrying straps, with metal nails attached to the bare wood.
• In the photos, a boy holds the shield with one arm in front of his upper body, so the size is tailored to children.

The lily as a knight's coat of arms

The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily that for centuries served as a royal symbol in heraldry, especially in France. Knights had such figures placed on their shields so they could be recognized from afar at a tournament or battlefield. Blue with silver fits this nicely, because azure and silver are classic heraldic colors. At a party, that works practically: the shield is immediately recognizable as a knight shield even from a distance.

Complementing the knight shield

In the photos, the shield is shown with a wooden sword, a golden crown and a grey chainmail shirt with a hood. Those parts are not included with this product, but do show how to build the look. A stripe of grey or black face paint across the cheeks completes the knight look, and with a red cape your child gets extra movement in the parade. If you prefer a king look, the same shield also fits with a crown and a white shirt.
