The Crusades created a tumultuous period when Western armies, fired with the crusading spirit, wrestled most of the Holy Land from the Moslems. Holding it was a different matter, and the Crusaders never again match their initial success. The West, still somewhat barbaric, learned a great deal from their opponents, bringing back new knowledge from their travels. This shield bears a red cross with a white crackle finish surrounded by a brass edge accent. Swords can be crossed behind this shield to make this piece the centrepiece of any room. This shield measures 24" tall and 17 1/4" wide.
