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..

NijmegenFrance (possibly) . Cardboard with white strip side, connected windows decorated with eight flowers around a circle. NijmegenFrance (possibly) .Side Panel of a Crupper ca. 1485-1500 German Another rare suvival of so-called Gothic horse armor, this side panel of a crupper, now incomplete, differs from another example in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. no. 29.158.606) both in construction and decoration. Its most notable features are the parallel ridges embossed on the surface and the scalloped lower edge. Groups of parallel or flaring ridges were used to decorate plate armor since at least the second quarter of the fifteenth century. Although particularly favored in German-speaking regions, such decoration was also found in Spain, France, and England. Italian armorers frequently employed ridges to ornament armor alla tedesca (in the German fashion), which was made for export north of the Alps. During the first three decades of the sixteenth century, this style of decoration reached its climax: entire surfaces, especially of German armor, were often covered with parallel vertical ridges, today known as fluting.

Barberinis coat of arms, embroidered on the orphrey band, surmounts a Maltese cross. The cope was worn by the Grand Prior while celebrating Mass, and officiating priests donned similar garments made from the same distinctive textile. The glittering effect of the complete set of vestments and matching altar hangings (including a frontal, now in Boston) must have been stupendous, especially when experienced in the flickering candlelight of the church sanctuary. This cope was displayed in European Textiles and Costume Figures, on view at the School of Industrial Arts (visible at center in the photograph of 1935).[Elizabeth Cleland, 2020.

Bronze, hammeredHeaddress first quarter 19th century Russian This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg.This is known as a fata, a usually white muslin veil woven with silk floral designs and gold embroidery.
