Each formed of a cuisse of one plate and a winged poleyn of four lames. The medially-ridged, gutter-shaped cuisse has a convex upper edge which is decorated with a file-roped inward turn, bordered by a file-roped rib. Riveted within the upper corner of each cuisse is a modern buff leather strap, the outer of which terminates in a single-ended tongued iron buckle. The outer lateral edge of the cuisse is decorated with a file-roped partial inward turn. The lower edge of the cuisse is overlapped by a poleyn of four medially-ridged lames that overlap outwards from the second which is shaped to the point of the knee and has a small, oval side wing with a medial pucker at its rear. The wing of the second lame and the convex lower edge of the fourth lame are each decorated with file-roped inward turns accompanied by narrow grooves. The secondary edges of the poleyn are decorated with file-roped partial inward turns. Each poleyn shows a rust-perforation at the point of the knee. The centre of the lower edge of the fourth lame of each poleyn is pierced with a later horizontal slot intended to engage the turning-pin of a greave. It is almost certain, however, that these cuisses and poleyns would originally have been worn without greaves. The cuisses and poleyns are each decorated medially with an etched band of trophies on a blackened and stippled ground, repeated at the upper border of the cuisse. The medial band is bordered to either side by three narrow bands of which the central one is decorated with guilloche. These narrow bands are repeated around the wings of the poleyn. The etching is modern.

These pieces protect the upper legs, cuisses, and the knees, poleyns, and were held in position by leather straps which were buckled up at the back of the leg. They have very characteristic etched decoration in the form of a central band with trophies of arms and scrolled decoration on a stippled background. Originally this was probably gilded and would have been owned by a moderately wealthy knight. reference term-106602 adlib-term-106602 bbb4c00f-eefa-3d64-9441-7a75aa07736e 16th Century reference term-106629 adlib-term-106629 e1fb1a11-426b-3006-bf59-4126d48e87ca literal Italy Italy country Italy reference term-40136 adlib-term-40136 28e1cd6e-7c25-339f-8cd2-2aaae536a0c5 steel reference term-77844 adlib-term-77844 5433da37-709e-390d-aad8-1f58d4a8fa6e cuisses reference term-77590 adlib-term-77590 65278af7-329a-3637-a46f-38e9da9dabea poleyns pair of cuisses and poleyns history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex 1 reference object-17755 adlib-object-17755 2863450e-17a9-3677-a1d8-829375c97804
