St. Bavo

This image was taken from a modern "holy card" and posted at the Catholic Forum website. The crucifix and skull are common attributes in images of contemplatives (compare Mary Magdalene and Jerome). The bird appears to refer to the medieval use of a falcon on the wrist as an attribute of St. Bavo as he was before his conversion.

About Us

The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
