Sword of Ibelin with Wall Plaque | Kingdom of Heaven
Detailed Craftsmanship of a Film Legend
This replica has been designed with an emphasis on visual fidelity to the movie original. The blade is made of 420 stainless steel, ensuring a high shine and minimal maintenance requirements. The centrepiece of the sword is its elaborate hilt and guard. Both the pommel and the crossguard are cast from a zinc alloy and decorated on both sides. The pommel features a cross motif with a translucent red centre, symbolizing the Crusader faith. The crossguard ends in stylized beast heads. The grip mimics wood interlaced with metal rings, providing an authentic historical look.
Included in the package is a stylish wooden wall plaque featuring the Ibelin family tree motif, allowing you to display the sword elegantly straight out of the box.
Usage and Warning
It is important to remember that this sword is constructed strictly as a decoration. The stainless steel blade is not tempered for combat, and the tang construction is not designed to withstand impact.
- Wall Decoration: Thanks to the included plaque, it becomes the focal point of any room.
- Costume Accessory: Perfectly complements a knight costume for parties or Halloween (for carrying only, not fencing).
- Collector's Item: A must-have for every fan of historical epics.
Historical Context: The House of Ibelin
While the movie story is partly fictional, the House of Ibelin truly existed and belonged to the most significant nobility of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The real Balian of Ibelin was a key figure in the defence of Jerusalem in 1187. Ibelin Castle, built in 1141 by King Fulk, served as a strategic point against attacks from Fatimid Egypt. This replica combines the magic of Hollywood with fragments of the real history of the Crusades.
