Detail of the breastplate 1550
Shows the decorative elements on the breast. Triple lines at the top and pairs of lines around the arm holes and radiating from the waist. This also shows signs of older sprays of flutes that have been hammered out to 'modernize' the breastplate. The inside also shows the lines from the center of the original flutes. Careful inspection also shows that there were holes for a lance rest, which have been filled to convert the breast to infantry use.
