28mm Joan at the Stake

This rather impressive model (the top of the pole is over 75mm high!) is designed to represent the Maid of Orléans (and as such would be perfect for a Burgundian army camp!), but can of course be used for any burning at the stake of young female prisoners of your choice... As a form of capital punishment, burning has a long history and was the method favoured for crimes such as treason, heresy, and witchcraft. It fell into disfavour among Western governments only in the late 18th century. The pack include a massive resin pyre in two parts and a matching pewter female figure chained to the stake, which are fairly generic and can be used for most historical periods. The upper part of the pyre can be used alone for a less imposing effect.
