13th Century Bronze Heraldic Eagle Badge Lost Wax Cast

This 13th Century Bronze Heraldic Badge is a powerful symbol of rank, allegiance, and martial honor. Inspired by medieval European coats of arms, it features a proud eagle in full display, wings lifted in a pose that once adorned the shields, surcoats and standards of noble houses and knightly orders.

Expertly cast using the lost wax cast technique—an artisanal process that predates the Middle Ages—each piece begins as a hand-sculpted wax model, allowing for extraordinary detail before being replaced with molten bronze. The result is a high-fidelity crest with sharp contours, lifelike wings, and rich medieval texture.

This badge measures 3.4 cm tall by 3 cm wide and is secured by dual sturdy bronze pins, ideal for fastening to cloaks, belts, tunics, or armor straps. Whether used in historical costuming, displays, or as a collector’s artifact, it evokes the bold iconography of Holy Roman, Germanic, or Norman heraldic traditions.
