Equestrian Statue King Richard the Lionheart – Gold Edition – Marto
Craftsmanship and Heraldry
The figure depicts the King in full ceremonial plate armor with a luxurious gold finish and intricate relief engravings. He wears a Great Helm surmounted by a dragon crest, symbolizing his martial prowess. The knight is armed with a sword and a lance bearing a red banner embroidered with the Three Lions of England.
The horse, cast from high-quality resin, features gold-finished barding on its head and neck. It is draped in a genuine red velvet caparison, richly embroidered with the Royal Arms of England (three lions passant guardant). The entire composition stands on a polished wooden base with a metal plaque certifying its origin.
Historical Context
Richard I (1157–1199), known as *Coeur de Lion*, is an icon of the Crusades. It was Richard who permanently established the three gold lions on a red field as the Royal Arms of England, a motif that dominates this statue. While the full plate armor is an artistic anachronism representing later periods, the statue perfectly captures the romanticized glory and majesty associated with the Plantagenet dynasty.
