The individual flowers consist of a red dot with yellow border as a core to laid the brown dots with white contour as petals. For the production, different colored glasses into tubes and rods were formed. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape.

Date: 1582.Peffenhauser was among the most celebrated and long-lived armorers of Augsburg, a city famous for its armor-makers. The pieces displayed here are thought to be part of a garniture commissioned by Elector August of Saxony (1526-1586) in 1582. Because of its slender proportions, the armor is assumed to have been ordered as a present for the elector's son, Christian (1560-1591), who later succeeded his father as archduke and elector of Saxony. These elements were intended for light cavalry or infantry use. The original garniture also included a complete armFragment. Culture: American. Dimensions: 5 1/4 x 4 in. (13.3 x 10.2 cm).
