Arms Of Castilla-León Shield

Exquisitely handcrafted in stainless steel with a polished finish. At the shields centre is a golden relief of the coat of arms of Spain. The coat of arms of Castilla-León depicts the traditional arms of Castile (the yellow castle) quartered with the arms of León (the purple lion).

The lion design is attributed to Alfonso VII, who became king of Castile and León in 1126. The castle symbol is attributed to his grandson Alfonso VIII. In 1230, Ferdinand III united the two kingdoms and quartered the arms as a symbol of the union. 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.
