This piece seems almost like a miniature Medieval sarcophagus, with this tiny bronze knight memorialized for eternity on this small piece of slate. </em></td>

This small bronze knight in full crusader mail stands mounted in a piece of slate probably taken from a coffer or some sort of architectural memorial. The figure, which stands 3 5/8" in height in a slightly taller piece of slate obviously removed (chips visible in stone) from a larger piece. The width of the slate casing to which the bronze in bolted (see detail) is 2 1/8". The knight rests on a (missing) sword, but the scabbard, pinned into the knight&#39;s side, is still intact. Their is significant patination on the knight, but the condition is good and as described. The piece is possibly French in origin, and dates from the first quarter of the Nineteenth Century.
