About the Item
Wooden bust of a knight.
A wonderful armored knight carved from lime wood. The knight is well carved with the face (with moustache) looking out of the helmet with a raised visor. The black and gold Armour is well decorated; the helmet has a plume holder to the rear and the rest of the Armour consists of gorget, pauldron, breastplate, revebrace and ending at the couter (elbow). The carving had gesso applied before it has been realistically painted, some of the paintwork is chipped. We believe this sculptor of a medieval knight was a collection box of some description. The body is hollow and is fitted with a hinged helmet, a keyhole is in the back, to allow access to collect the money. The money would have been put through the slotted visor. This is a very rare and unusual piece in good original condition.
Probably Spanish or Italian.

Painted and Carved Wooden Sculpture of a Knight Crusader, circa 1944 on Pedestal
Located in Palm Desert, CA
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...
