Sir Samelot

A random knight in not-so-shiny armor sits astride his horse in a vacant lot. He was purchased from an antiques dealer by a nearby resident, and is decorated for the holidays in different garb and masks.

Sir Samelot and his rusty horse Triggeramus have guarded this corner of Pittsburgh's Uptown since Fall 2011.
