The breastplate is made in one piece with an upstanding flange at its neck-opening and a flange at the waist. It is medially-ridged and dips down at the centre of the waist. Its arm-openings, narrow neck-opening and waist-flange have plain inward turns. The turns at the arm-openings are bordered by pairs of incised lines. Riveted low down at each shoulder is a modern mushroom-shaped stud with an oval head, intended to engage the shoulder-straps of the backplate. Two of the three holes pierced below each of them, at either side of the chest, may have served to retain pierced studs and swivel-hooks that originally engaged and secured the shoulder-straps. A modern swivel-hook riveted at each side of the breastplate serves to engage the pierced studs riveted at each side of the backplate. A later hole is pierced to the inside of each of the swivel-hooks. A modern mushroom-shaped stud for the suspension of the tassets is riveted at each side of the waist-flange.

It has suffered some dents, buckles and cracks. The breastplate and the backplate do not fit each other perfectly, but otherwise match each other so well that they probably derive from the same series of armours. The form of their neck opening indicates that they were intended for wear without a collar. It is conceivable that they were originally made for wear by an harquebusier together with an open-faced close helmet, pauldrons and a skirt. reference term-106447 adlib-term-106447 c24dda6b-b738-3a7d-bddf-648ede5b5cd4 17th Century reference term-106665 adlib-term-106665 81bdeec4-f191-3840-9127-d89be6989655 literal Netherlands Netherlands country Netherlands reference term-40136 adlib-term-40136 28e1cd6e-7c25-339f-8cd2-2aaae536a0c5 steel Depth cm 16.5 Height cm 36.5 Weight kg 1.15 Width cm 35 reference term-77604 adlib-term-77604 0579b348-97ab-388c-ba51-27c35d51bf4e breastplate (body armour) history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex. 1 reference object-17989 adlib-object-17989 9d9d1326-b215-3398-a0da-7c217325984b
