Equestrian Statue King Richard the Lionheart – Marto – Gold Finish
Details and Craftsmanship
The statue depicts the King in ceremonial plate armor with a striking gold finish. While stylized for artistic effect, the detail is impeccable.

He is armed with a lance bearing a banner, a sword at his hip, and carries a heater shield displaying the royal arms.
The horse, cast from high-quality resin, is outfitted with ornate barding. The highlight is undoubtedly the genuine velvet caparison in a rich mustard hue, embroidered with the Three Lions of England. The entire composition stands on a polished wooden base, ensuring stability and providing an elegant display platform.
