English oak sculpture (c. 1380)

This sculpture of a late 14th century knight in sword combat dress is so pleasing on the eye. His face has a serene softness where people over the centuries have touched his face.Large amount of the original polychrome remain.

He is carved completely in the round. The stand is part of the carving itself. Only the hilt of his sword remains and it is believed he has always been a three quarter length carving.

From the style of his dress he has been dated to the late 14th century and without doubt English.
