The inspiration for this stein is the actual historical helmet used in
jousting tournaments during medieval times. The air holes are in the shapes of
crosses and fluer de lis accented with black glazing, as is the visor from which
the jousting knights were to see out. These helmets were known for their
ornamentation and therefore the pewter lion with shield and sword is appropriate
on top of this stein. In some cases actual birds in cages were mounted on these
helmets! Jousting knights in raised-relief detail appear on the chest plate of
the helmet. The flowing plumage is painted in England's colors of red & white,
and forms the handle of the stein. The armor is accented with platinum and
gold-leaf. The shield of the lion also carries the England flag colors. Limited
edition of 999 pieces.
