Set of 2 "Crusader's Rest" Coffin Keepsake Boxes
Are you looking for a stylish place for your small treasures, gaming dice, or jewellery that would also highlight your passion for medieval history?

The lid of each box is dominated by a prominent Latin cross, while the sides are lined with reliefs of shields featuring the French lily (fleur-de-lis) motif. Thanks to precise hand-painting and patination, the surface looks like old, battle-hardened metal, even though it is made of durable polyresin. This decoration will bring the atmosphere of the Crusades and mysterious temples directly into your interior. Further product information ...
Set of 2 "Crusader's Rest" Coffin Keepsake Boxes
Practical Use and Symbolism
These boxes are not just "dust collectors" but fully functional accessories. The removable lid hides a space measuring approx. 12 x 8 cm, which is ideal for storing rings, chains, coins, rosaries, or a set of dice for Dungeons & Dragons. Place them on your desk, in a display cabinet, or on your bedside table. The coffin shape combined with Christian symbolism acts as a Memento Mori—a reminder of the transience of life, which medieval knights held in deep respect.
Historical Insight: The Lily and the Cross
The decoration of the box refers to the symbolism of the High Middle Ages. The cross on the lid is the classic sign of the Crusaders, warriors of the faith. The lily motif (fleur-de-lis), which repeats around the perimeter, was the traditional sign of French kings, but in Christian symbolism, it also signified purity and the Holy Trinity. Many knights, especially those from French lands, set out on Crusades with exactly these symbols on their surcoats and shields. This box can thus symbolically represent a reliquary of a fallen hero.
