MALT-02 – Standard Bearer | John Jenkins Designs
In 1565, the Mediterranean island of Malta became the scene of one of the 16th century's most famous sieges when a large Ottoman force attempted to defeat the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John and seize the strategically important island.
Alongside the Knights and professional soldiers stood the people of Malta itself. Local militia played an important part in defending their homeland throughout months of extraordinarily hard fighting.
MALT-02 – Standard Bearer represents one of these defenders carrying the colours amid the siege.
A standard was both a practical rallying point and a powerful symbol of identity and cohesion. In the confusion of battle, men could look towards their colours to locate their comrades and maintain their position.
As a visually prominent figure, MALT-02 makes a natural centrepiece around which the other Maltese militia can be assembled.
Available through The Military Workshop – a striking John Jenkins Designs figure for building the defenders of Malta during the legendary siege of 1565.
Brand: John Jenkins
