Pewter Crusader Knight on Horseback
Transport yourself to the age of crusades, honour, and valour with this masterfully crafted figurine. This Crusader is not just a simple soldier, but a detailed study of a medieval warrior in full armour. The knight sits atop a spirited steed, protected and adorned with a long caparison (cloth covering) featuring gold cross motifs. In his hand, he proudly holds a lance with a fluttering banner, also bearing a cross, signifying his allegiance to a holy order. The figurine captures a dynamic moment as the horse strides forward and the knight, wearing a great helm (bucket helm), scans the horizon for the enemy or his destination.

Pewter Crusader Knight on Horseback – With Banner and Caparison
Noble Material for Collectors
The statue is made of pewter, a traditional and highly prized hard alloy of tin, antimony, and copper. This material gives the figurine a pleasant weight, a cool metallic feel, and, most importantly, allows for capturing incredible details—from the chainmail on the knight's arms to the texture of the fabric on the horse's harness. The surface is hand-painted in a combination of silver (metal) and gold, highlighting the symbols of faith and rank.
Historical Inspiration
The armour corresponds to the High Middle Ages (approx. 12th–13th century). The knight is protected by chainmail and plate additions, with a sword hanging at his hip, ready for close combat. The horse is not merely transport; in this armour and caparison, it appears as a formidable medieval tank. This statue is the ideal gift for history lovers, collectors of pewter figurines, or as a luxurious decoration for a desk.

Caring for Your Pewter Statue
Pewter is a durable material that does not rust like iron, but it deserves care:
- Cleaning: Remove dust with a soft brush. If necessary, use lukewarm soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents.
- Placement: Do not expose to direct sources of high heat.
- Handling: Be careful with thin parts like the lance and banner—they could bend if dropped.
