Jacopo Cavalli - Italian condottiere XIVth century

[franceso sbarile]

It is some time I had in my grey army the 1/10 bust of italian horseman produced by MJ. It looks great but I would sometingh "personalized" so, with small modifications to the left hand, and adding an horse head on the helmet I got the Jacopo Cavalli crest. Jacopo Cavalli was a venetian condottiere of XIVth century. The use of such a crest is certified by the fresco by Altichiero da Zevio showing men of Cavalli family in front of Virgin Mary. As you can see in the attached picture of the fresco men have a crest with the horse (Cavalli) head and the white horse on red field on the shield. The crossing band with yellow stars are clearly shown on the heraldry on the back plane building.
Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers
Francesco
