Description
Knights from the Medieval era were heavily armored 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. This knight is carrying a halberd. The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft. It always has a hook or thorn on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants.
Aside from martial prowess, knights often lived virtuously according to a code of eight virtues:
The Eight Virtues of a Knight
Honesty is respect for Truth
Compassion is Love of others
Valor is Courage to stand up against risks
Justice is Truth, tempered by Love
Sacrifice is Courage to give oneself in the name of the Greater Good
Honor is Courage to seek and uphold the Truth
Spirituality is to seek Truth and Courage from one’s own self and the world around
Humility is the opposite of Pride – the absence of Truth or Courage
This is a life-sized knight suitable for display in your home or office. The halberd that he carries is removable for transport purposes. The statue is also supplied with an inbuilt pedestal.
