Item Description

Between AD 61 and AD 63 Boadicea led her Iceni people to a glorious war against the Romans. The Iceni Celts had submitted their kingdom in East Anglia to the conquering Romans and the rule of Emperor Claudius in AD 43. In AD 61, Prasutagus, Boadicea's husband and King of the Iceni died. A dispute followed during which Boadicea, was publicly beaten by the soldiers of the emperor, and her two daughters raped. The Iceni were insulted and rose in revolt led by their queen Boadicea. So successful was the uprising that the Romans were almost defeated. Unfortunately for the Iceni and their allies, the military skill of the Roman army finally led to the crushing of the rebellion.After the revolt, Roman rule was re-established. For almost two glorious years, Boadicea pillaged the Roman settlements; she remains to this day, the greatest of the heroines of Britain.

This wonderful statue is based on a painting by Chris Achilleos originally created for a calendar in 1982. It portrays, in a highly glamorous way, the historical character of Boadicea, or Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni tribe.

The figurine, which including the base stands at 14 inches tall, is expertly hand painted. Made of resin with metal hands, it includes real leather trim, removable shield, movable metal bracelets and a beautifully crafted metal sword which is removable from its scabbard. The base is made of real varnished wood and resin.

Each figurine comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity signed by Chris Achilleos and is presented in a colour display box.

Intended as a Limited Edition of 3000, just 250 were actually produced, further adding to the exclusivity of this lovely piece.

A very rare piece indeed and certainly one for the collectors.
