SHIELDS OF LOVE, CYPRUS

We gathered information and discussed about Peter the First, the king of Cyprus during the period 1359-1369.

With our imagination and in a creative mood we made our own shields. We have studied and used emblems that were used in the medieval period:
The Jerusalem Emblem
The Lion from the Kingdom of Cyprus
The sword and the inscription from the new Order of Chivalry “the Knights of Sword”, which was organized by Peter the first.
Also symbols of other kingdoms around Europe like France and England, inspired us to work! Our medieval palette included tones of blue, red, green, black and white. The final products did not disappoint us and were  really exciting!
