Set of 4 Decorative Skulls in Renaissance Burgonet Helmets
Unique Decoration for History and Fantasy Enthusiasts
These statues are not just ordinary dust collectors. They are made of high-quality polyresin, a special synthetic resin that captures even the finest details—from cracks in the skull to rivets and floral ornaments on the helmet. Each skull is hand-painted, adding to its authenticity.
This decoration fits perfectly in a study, library, game room, or man cave. It can liven up interiors furnished in industrial, historical, or Gothic styles. The set of four gives you versatility—you can display them together as a complete collection, scatter them around the room, or give them as gifts to friends.
Historical Insight: The Burgonet Helmet
The helmet worn by the skull is inspired by the historical Burgonet. This type of open helm appeared in the early 16th century and was very popular throughout the Renaissance across Europe. It was favoured for its lightness and the good visibility it provided, whilst still protecting the head thanks to a prominent comb (keel) and cheek pieces. It was worn by both infantry and light cavalry. The combination of a skull and a military helmet is a powerful symbol of the transience of life and the warrior's eternal fate.

How to Care for the Statues
To ensure these skulls bring you joy for as long as possible and stay looking new, I recommend following a few simple principles:
- Cleaning: Remove dust with a fine brush or a dry soft cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaning agents, which could damage the hand-painted finish.
- Placement: The product is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose it to direct sunlight for long periods, as the colours may fade.
- Handling: While polyresin is sturdy, it can shatter if dropped on a hard surface. Place the statues on a stable surface where they won't be knocked over.
Warnings
Please remember that this is a decorative item, not a toy. The product should be kept out of reach of small children and pets to prevent breakage or ingestion of fragments. The statues are not suitable for outdoor use; frost and moisture would permanently damage the material.
A stylish bookstand or a historical wall map would also go perfectly with this set.
