Resin statue painted by hand. The templars were a catholic military order founded in 1119 and recognized by the Holy See in 1139. They were active until 1312 and they were known by their heroic knights, dressed with a classic mantle with a red cross. Their skills in fight, especially during the Crusades, were legendary. This heroic warrior dresses the classic battle armor, including the two defining colors of this order, the white (symbolizing the purity of God) and the red (symbolizing the blood and the power of the battle made by this God’s army).
