Very nice! And the price range is ok for the amount of work and materials that go into one. So...do you plan to customize it?

I have a number of books with actual Vendel and Viking era decorations and styles off of burial and dig site finds that I am going to look through. Some were taken off of period shield bosses. My wife will do the actual painting. I don't want to go full on cringe Pagan though lol, only historical styles.

Ah, then you'll have fun. The decorations you want *should* be pretty easy to make from thin sheet brass.
