It seems that the shield originated on the Balkan Peninsula, as the Ottomans called it "Rumeli Kalkan", meaning "Shield from the Rumelia" (Rumelia was the ottoman term for balkan)<br /><br />The Horsemen in Orsza were of Hungarian, Croat, Serb, Bulgarian, Bosnian and Vlach heritage :) Stefan Stanulovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-56742754500858679262013-10-02T23:25:49.226-07:002013-10-02T23:25:49.226-07:00Great post and wonderful paintjob!Great post and wonderful paintjob!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-85929442937269207172013-10-02T10:46:35.005-07:002013-10-02T10:46:35.005-07:00Lovely rendition Stuart - even if he appears to be...Lovely rendition Stuart - even if he appears to be carrying the old arms of Burgundy on his shield (!) - personally I'd go for a colourful approach (rather than drab browns etc) - as the medievals did love bright colours. We'd be fairly horrified today if we entered a medieval church/building for example - bright paint and patterns on every surface. Looks like the painting would be a good proxy guide. <br />Grate sculpts and look forward to seeing more.<br />simon.paintermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649916816073878873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-88182463397245935502013-10-02T01:19:53.264-07:002013-10-02T01:19:53.264-07:00Looking good Stuart !!!Looking good Stuart !!!Dalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-87635855278171483132013-10-01T22:18:19.562-07:002013-10-01T22:18:19.562-07:00Great figure beautifully painted!Great figure beautifully painted!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
