Crusader’s cross shield 13th century

• In the 12th century with the introduction of the pot
  helmet, the individual knight could no longer be
  recognized by his face, and another means of
  identification became necessary. Therefore their
  shields were painted in boldly contrasting colours and
  in particular the crusaders (especially the so-called
  Teutonic Knights) choose a cross as their emblem. We
  are offering a reenactors’ copy of such a shield in
  yellow colour with a red cross, the most common
  crusaders’ sign.

  68 cms.(27″) x 49cms.(19″)
