Set of 2 Crusader Great Helm Money Boxes
Guardian of Your Treasure
The money box is made of high-quality polyresin (synthetic resin), a material that captures even the smallest details, such as rivets or breath holes on the visor. There is a coin slot on the flat top of the helmet. Although it looks like a heavy piece of metal, it is pleasantly light and durable. Its design fits perfectly into interiors with a historical, fantasy, or industrial theme.
Historical Insight: The Great Helm
The model for this money box is the so-called Great Helm (or Heaume). This type of head protection appeared at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries and became a symbol of High Medieval knighthood. It was designed to provide maximum protection for the entire head against sword blows and crossbow bolts. The gold cross on the front refers to Crusader orders, such as the Templars or Hospitallers, who wore these helmets during campaigns in the Holy Land. Its disadvantage was limited vision and difficulty in breathing, so knights often put it on just before the clash.

How to Care for the Money Box
To keep this piece looking like new for as long as possible, just follow a few simple rules:
- Cleaning: Remove dust with a fine duster or a dry cloth. Avoid using water and chemical cleaners, which could damage the hand-painting and patina.
- Placement: The product is intended for indoor use only. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight could cause the colours to fade.
- Handling: Although the resin is strong, it may shatter if dropped on a hard floor. Place it on a stable surface.
Warnings
Please remember that this is a decorative item, not a toy for small children. Due to the material and size, the helmet is not intended to be worn (neither on your head nor on pets or dolls); it serves exclusively as a money box and decoration.
A replica of a historical sword-shaped letter opener would look great on your shelf alongside this set.
