Description
Knights from the Medieval era were heavily armoured to withstand the many swords, axes and arrows that were arrayed against them. The helmet that these knights wore was engineered to protect its owner from glancing hits from close and ranged weapons, and this it did with great effectiveness but at a cost of sacrificing visibility.
The rest of the armour is similarly curved to withstand help deflect the blows of enemy swords.
This particular knight bears the heraldic crest of the lion which symbolises undying courage.
