Left Half of a Breastplate ca. 1400-1450 Italian This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire.. Left Half of a Breastplate 27672

Breastplate ca. 1480 German This breastplate is made from two parts, held together by four star-shaped rivets. The deeply scooped neckline and the arm-holes have outward-turned borders; the lower part of the breast is sharply ridged and sweeps up into a central squared-off point with twin cutouts at the top. The edges of the lower plate are paralleled by two shallow embossed ridges. The waist lames are missing, but holes indicate they were once attached. In the upper part of the upper breast, two star-shaped rivets indicate where shoulder straps were once attached.Throughout the fifteenth century breastplates were made in two parts, loosely riveted together in the German fashion or attached to one another by straps and buckles in the Italian fashion, to allow extra mobility of the body. The cuirass--breastplate and backplate--was the last element of body armor added to the complete "knight in shining armor." This was not for lack of technical dexterity on the part of the armorers, beca

Helmet ca. 1515-1520 Egyptian or Syrian The engraved decoration, which includes Qur'anic inscriptions, recalls that found on helmets dating to the last years of Mamluk rule, before the Ottomans conquered Egypt in 1517. The helmet is incised with the mark of the Ottoman arsenal, indicating that it was carried back to Istanbul as booty. The spike at the top, the spear-like fixture at the front, and mail are later North African additions, suggesting that the helmet was recycled for use in Sudan during the Mahdi uprising in the 1880s and 1890s..

Jackboots 18th century British The jack boot is a heavy, stiffened boot worn by postillion riders in the 17th and 18th centuries. While it would provide excellent protection to the riders leg, the extreme weight, forward cant, and absolute rigidity of the boot makes it utterly unfit for walking. The boot gets its name from the jacked leather, horsehide treated with wax and pitch or tar to make it black and waterproof, from which it was traditionally made. This heavily worn example from the collection, although missing its mate, is fortunate to have the matching spur with original leather straps.. Jackboots. British. 18th century. leather

Standing Shield 1385-87 German, Erfurt Shields of this exceptionally large size and weight (50 lb. 23 kg) were propped on the ground to form a wall that protected archers and infantrymen. This shield comes from the arsenal of the town of Erfurt and is painted with the coat of arms of that city and its dependencies Vieselbach, Kapellendorf, and Vargula. It presumably was made after 1385, when the archbishop of Erfurt acquired suzerainty over the town of Vargula, but before 1387, when the coat of arms was again augmented. The holes in the surface were made by crossbow bolts and by bullets.. Standing Shield. German, Erfurt. 1385-87. Wood, leather, gesso, silver foil, gold lacquer, polychromy, iron. Erfurt. Shields
