Knight (edition 5/5) Sculpture

Bronze reljef. Lithuania's knight, Vytis, is one of the oldest state emblems in Europe and one of the few whose symbolism was taken not from dynastic arms, as in the majority of European countries, but from ducal portrait seals. It was not by chance that in the beginning of the 16th c. a chronicler described Lithuania's coat of arms as one indicating a mature ruler capable of defending his homeland with a sword. In the Middle Ages, the image of the mounted ruler knight was perhaps the most favoured symbol for seals; it represented both the sovereignty and defender of the land. Many such seals existed in neighbouring countries.
