Viking Shield and Axes Square Paper Coaster

A Viking shield and crossed battle axes superimposed on an old paper background image. The shield is black on the left side with a red right hand print. The other side of the shield is blue with a white eagle in Celtic-Norse style. Customize by adding your own text. You may change both the text font and color. You may also change the color of the border or remove it altogether. Viking shields varied. I have based this on historical examples. Shields were sometimes covered in leather, as is this one. As a result the paint is imperfect allowing for a hint of the underlying leather to be seen. Iron edges were rare; I have opted for leather edging as was often used. I opted for simple ax heads instead of the beard axe and more fanciful interpretations that are commonly employed by artists.
