Orc Waanaz Shield - Wood - 60x66 cm

Epic Armoury’s Orc Waanaz Shield is a rustic latex shield designed to be a part of the Orc collection. This shield is hand-painted and modeled to look like planks of wood that have been fit together using rope and heavy bolts, giving it a rough look you expect from orc goods. Square shaped, it is 80 cm wide and tall. 

Wear this Ork Waanaz Shield right- or left-handed with the use of canvas arm straps on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

Inspiration

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
• The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
• Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft
