DescriptionKnights 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 knight is armed with a long sword. Commonly known as a “hand-and-a-half” sword, the long sword was able to be wielded single handed for quick thrusts, or wielded with both hands for overhead crushing blows.The Eight Virtues of a KnightHonesty is respect for TruthCompassion is Love of othersValor is Courage to stand up against risksJustice is Truth, tempered by LoveSacrifice is Courage to give oneself in the name of the Greater GoodHonor is Courage to seek and uphold the TruthSpirituality is to seek Truth and Courage from one’s own self and the world aroundHumility is the opposite of Pride – the absence of Truth or Courage(Height: ~ 1.78 m, Width: ~0.53 m, Depth: ~0.43 m)(Weight: ~ 30 kg)(Material: Resin Mixed with Stone)(Finish: Hand-painted)Related
