I wish I would have had something like this oh, about twenty years ago when I was more into the hierarchy and symbols of the Catholic Church. But now to bring these items, as good as they are, into say my 2010 Lions or Dragons factions would add a "link" or "tie" to our history that I'm not sure I want. To use these would convert them to Christianity/Catholicism which, even though I was raised Catholic and still consider myself as such, I don't want to do. That's where I'll have to leave it, I don't want to discuss the pros and cons of current religions as that would change the thread focus.
These are good. I hope you make some more non-denominational pieces like the crown and the Egyptian headdresses are really great. Perhaps an "ankh" hand held holy symbol to go with?

We'll, this is not the good place to discuss about that.
All my items are made as historically accurate as possible, and I don't want to generate a debate about the religion.
By the way, if one wishes to build a real-based Middle Age European castle or cathedral (and not only "fantasy" or inexistent ones), it is really probable that one Bishop could be inside, and at those period the Roman Catholic Church was everywhere, that's an historical fact, that's all.
So, no need to be faithful in Catholicism to have those custom items, thanks God!
For the crowns, I always thought that the original one provided by the Company was not really exact historically, so I made my own ones. Very soon I'll produce also some others.
About the Egyptian pieces: I'm not into fantasy, I have never seen a Pharaoh using an ankh in real life, only in hieroglyphs, so I think that a scepter and a flail would be more exact.
