Three Levels of Detail |
Originally forged for my son, and for all who begin their first great journey.
The first Ouroboros Shield was never meant for sale—it was a gift. I carved it by hand for my son, as a way to honor life, resilience, and the call to adventure. A sigil he could wear on his back as he climbed trees, built forts, and faced the dragons only children can see. It wasn’t a toy—it was a relic of becoming.
Now, that same shield can be made for you.
Symbolism & Design
At the center coils the eternal serpent—the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol of renewal and transformation. With its tail in its teeth, it reminds us: life is a loop, a series of quests that return us to ourselves, changed. Every shield is hand-dyed, hand-tooled, and finished to feel mythic, timeless, and real.
Shield Sizes:
Youth/Adventure Size – 16x14 inches – Lightweight, ideal for kids or wearable display.
Legacy/Wall Size – 28x21 inches – A commanding heirloom for adult wear or mountable decor.
Or any custom size.
Each shield is fully handcrafted in the Artificer’s workshop. No machines, no molds—only steel tools, leather, and the steady hand of a father-turned-relic-maker.
This is not a toy.
This is a symbol.
A relic.
A beginning.
