Description from the seller
Golden Wooden Family Crest Shield with Rampant Lion of the León Dynasty (Spain)
Discover the enchantment of medieval heraldry with our extraordinary wall relief decorative panel, a true tribute to the historic art of the noble León dynasty!
This magnificent shield features a crowned rampant lion, symbol of nobility and strength, brought to life with exquisite details.
The lion icon has been used as the symbol of the city of León and its province for centuries, first documented on coins minted by Alfonso VII, el Emperador (1126-1157).
Alfonso VII of León and Castile solidified the rampant lion as the personal and heraldic symbol of the Leonese monarchy. It represented strength, courage, and imperial authority, documented in the Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris as an emblem during the conquest of Almería.
This Medieval Coat of Arms encapsulates these historical values transmitted by the Kingdom of León’s dynasty and later maintained by its successors Ferdinand II and Alfonso IX.
Its deep red background, known as "oxblood red", is elegantly paired with a hand-carved, gilded wooden base, creating a visual contrast that immediately draws the eye.
Perfect to enrich a sumptuous and noble environment, this heraldic shield is ideal for those who love history and refined design.
Don’t miss the opportunity to own an authentic piece of art that speaks of tradition and artisanal craftsmanship!
Dimensions:
- Height 63.5 cm
- Width 37 cm
- Depth 5 cm
The crest shows signs of age in keeping with its era.
