Shieldmaiden Found.

[Uruk-Hai]

Although there is some arguments whether this is a Walkyria or a Shieldmaiden. Im more for a shieldmaiden as a Walkyria is not often described with a shield nor can I see the use of it?

Interesting stuff Janne as to what it is could be either, the Walkyria changed a lot in depiction over the years starting as ghoulish vampire like creatures to end as the hot babes in chain mail bikinis we see today so I'm sure they had shields at some point! Nice find though
