Description
This one is the more "consistent" of the traditional mystic relics. At this time there are four objects designed as "The Holy Lance" (also known as the "Spear of Destiny", "Lance of Longinus" and other names). As model I've used the one exposed in Hofburg, Wien (Austria). Other two lances are more controversial and about the fourth (preserved in Vatican City) we have no more than a couple of rough sketches by a french voyager from the XIX century.
The "Lance of Power" has been desired by so many kings and statesmen though centuries up to the the II World War and, probably, again in the contemporary age.
It is a strange thing: this should be a modern and materialistic age but still so many peoples look for possession of this (and more) relic. No modern and illuministic conceptions and knowledges affects the mind of some peoples, especially if statesmen?!?
Too much materialism is not good, but likewise wrong thing when mythos and mysticism prevail reality too. All we have to think about.
My personal journey through mythos, however, will be continued in future. There are so many other legends and relics to investigate in the history of human king all around the world...

Excellent and very beautiful work Whylma! Magnificent story, gives us plenty to think about. I wish you well with your personal journey!
Wonderful image. Great composition and lighting. Love the subject matter.
Very interesting work. Very reminiscent of Tarot card illustrations. The category of art tends to be similar. It is constrained by the meaning of the symbols which must be present because of the subject. The execution is excellent. You may find a couple of my freebies useful if you are using poser or daz type programs. My cross creation kit and magical props for Nostradamus in particular. They are actually probably better than anything similar you could buy. I dropped by for some reason after reading your comment on my Eridanus Explorers. Thanx for the nice comment.
