Brass Celtic Cross Shield

Exquisitely handcrafted in stainless steel with a polished finish. At the shields heart is a Brass Celtic Cross. The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. The four arms of the Celtic cross are thought to be representative of the four directions of the compassion, the four elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, and as a representation of our mind, soul, body, and heart.

Similar crosses have been associated with European continental areas of Celtic cultures, such as Normandy, Brittany, or Auvergne in France, or Asturias and Galicia in Northern Spain, among others.

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