3About it
A painted miniature of a knight on an armored horse, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Medieval knights wore plate armor made of steel pieces that were shaped to fit each person, and horses had cloth covers called caparisons over their own armor.
Tap it and the figure rocks back on its base as the horse rears, then lands. Drag to circle it and look at the raised sword, the shield and the horse's cloth.
