On my workshop wall are pictures of things I have made, things that inspire and things that one day I will make and amongst these is a rondel I love.
The original is I think in the Army Museum in Paris but not entirely sure and I only have a side view of it. I eventually got around to making a piece heavily based on it and here it is.
The form of it if overll pretty similar, except that I believe the original top rondel is octagonal and I also of course could not see what if anything is going on on the top face. Because of this I used a design off a bollock dagger cap as the basis for the top of this rondel.
I did all of the mastering work and knife and scabbard making and Michael Anderson sculpted the Madonna and child.
The wood is box and the fittings are bronze.
I hope you like it
Tod
