Painted and Carved Wooden Sculpture of a Knight Crusader, circa 1944 on Pedestal

About the Item

A carved wooden sculpture of a knight crusader from the mid-20th century painted in a silver color with brown undertone. The knight is kneeling on a later rectangular black wooden stepped pedestal, holding his sword horizontally while wielding a kite shield mounted on his forearm, emblazoned with a cross and a forked lightning. Looking determined to battle for glory, he wears a silver painted chainmail coif on his head and chest beneath a helmet framing his bony face, a cuirass above a hauberk, greaves and sabatons. The perfect recreation of a crusader’s battle armor enhanced by the silver paint and numerous details make this carved wooden sculpture of a kneeling knight, circa 1944, a great collectible piece that would add a touch of medieval style to your decor.
