The breastplate is of rounded, medially-ridged, one-piece construction with bold, angular, outward turns at the neck and arm-openings. A rivet-hole for the attachment of a shoulder-strap is pierced at the top of each shoulder. The lower edge of the breastplate is flanged outwards to receive a skirt of four upward overlapping lames, the lowest of which is made in two slightly overlapping halves, the inner ends of which are cut off obliquely to form a small ogival arch over the crotch. The lames are connected to one another and to the breastplate at their outer ends by modern round-headed rivets and square internal washers. Similar rivets and washers secure the inner ends of each half of the lowest lame to the lame above it. The lower corner of each half of the lowest lame is fitted with a modern round-headed rivet serving only as decoration.

The hammering would leave quite considerable marks on both the top and inner surfaces, as can be seen here. The outer surface would be ground flat and polished till it was smooth. In large workshops it was common to divide the work of making armour into several areas; the armourer would carry out the main shaping, grinders and polishers would prepare the top surface, the decoration would be done by other craftsmen and the final fitting by specialists in making buckles and all the necessary leather straps. North Italian The skirt is associated with the breastplate, and is in itself composite. The internal patination of the first lame is different form that of the rest, which from the positioning of their rivets are probably also associated with one another; at least in their present configuration. The breastplate and skirt are bright with some light to medium pitting overall. reference term-106256 adlib-term-106256 1bd8ad44-09c2-3c55-825a-635e463bb56b 16th Century, Early 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 Depth cm 14.8 Height cm 52 Weight kg 2.708 Width cm 34.4 reference term-77604 adlib-term-77604 0579b348-97ab-388c-ba51-27c35d51bf4e breastplate (body armour) reference term-75825 adlib-term-75825 87dc74d5-090f-3b7a-a54d-245e13041cb8 skirt breastplate with skirt history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum
