What the knight with a shield and spear shows
The boy faces forward in a full suit of knight’s armor. He holds the long spear upright in his right hand and carries the broad shield in his left hand, while a cape hangs from his shoulders. His cheerful expression gives the medieval figure a friendly character, and there is no scenery behind him.
Facts about medieval knights and their equipment
A shield helped protect a knight from weapons, while a spear allowed him to engage an opponent from a greater distance. Armor was made from separate pieces so that the wearer could bend his arms and legs. A cape could display colors connected with a household, ruler, or group, although it was not the main source of protection.
