The Herald's Trumpet will sound a rousing fanfare for lords and ladies or decorate castle walls to perfection! The trumpet is crafted in drawn brass and measuring an impressive 50" long. Herald was originally a messenger sent by a king or nobleman to pass on a message or announcement. In medieval Europe, herald was charged with carrying messages to and from the commanders of opposing armies. In the 12th century heralds formally announced and conducted tournaments, including the proclamation of each joust and the name of each combatant. The trumpet was usually used to get people's attention. Perhaps because of their role managing the tournaments of the late Middle Ages, heralds came to be associated with the regulation of the knights' coats of arms. However, in the United Kingdom, heralds are still called to read announcements publicly. Measurements Overall Length: 50" Weight: 1lb 7oz Box Height: 24 1/2" Box width: 6 1/4" |
