Formed of twelve downward-overlapping lames curved to the front of the horse's upper foreleg and shoulder, and increasing in width to its upper end. The upper edge of the top lame is slightly convex with gently rounded corners. It has a file-roped inward turn accompanied by a recessed border containing nine holes for lining-rivets, all of which are now missing. The lower edge of the bottom lame also has a file-roped inward turn. The outer ends of the lame are each pierced with a rivet-hole that formerly served to secure a strap around the rear of the horse's leg. The first to eleventh lames have bevelled lower edges. The lames are connected to one another at their outer ends by modern, round-headed lining-rivets with internal washers that are variously square, pentagonal, hexagonal or circular. The lames were further connected to one another by a pair of internal leathers located a short distance within the sliding-rivets. The leathers were attached to each lame by single externally-flush rivets, all of which are now missing.

The leg-defence originally had a `black from the hammer' finish, now cleaned to a mottled bright finish with light to heavy pitting overall. These are very rare survivals of armour to protect the upper part of a horse’s front legs. They are made of many small strips of iron held together internally by leather strips which give them great flexibility to move with the movement of the horse. Very little is known about this type of armour but they are shown on the famous woodcuts by Hans Burgkmair of the Triumph of Maximilian I produced about 1520. reference term-106356 adlib-term-106356

for the right foreleg of a horse history note From the armoury of the Princes Radziwill, Castle of Niescwiez, Poland. To save the armoury from the Bolshevist uprising, the Lithuanian family of Radziwill moved it to their town-house in Warsaw. According to the London dealers Fenton and Furmage, the collection was acquired by the Austrian Dealers Pollak and Windonitz just before the First World War. Some pieces were sold in Germany, but most were offered for sale at Christie's, London, on 29 June 1926 and 14 June 1927 as the armoury of a `Russian Prince'. The present piece was sold as lot 115 in the first sale where it was acquired by Fenton for £73 10s 0d. 1 reference object-18663 adlib-object-18663 1ca82278-3fe7-306a-84a9-6f7c8a607708 1 reference 1 term-109135 adlib-term-109135 426172e1-245e-348c-b4c5-29bf1d2e9f4c leg-defence leg-defence reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. second series, Vol. XXIX, 1929, p. 243 p. 243 reference publication-1839 adlib-publication-1839 2cc281a5-c147-3f05-9869-9c59fd1d921d Archaeologia reference term-109135 adlib-term-109135 426172e1-245e-348c-b4c5-29bf1d2e9f4c leg-defence leg-defence formed of twelve downward-overlapping lames curved to the front of the horse's upper foreleg and shoulder, and increasing in width to its upper end; hammered, shaped, riveted, with a recessed border, file-roped and bevelled decoration originally with a 'black from the hammer' finish reference term-28775 adlib-term-28775 bbe63841-d546-33c4-ab44-2958e6dce7b2 hammered reference term-25748 adlib-term-25748 28a2a6ad-b9a5-33ca-982f-af924c102b3a formed object OBJECT
