Elbow Defense (Couter) ca. 1430-40 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.. Elbow Defense (Couter). Italian. ca. 1430-40. Steel.

The unusual one-piece construction of the breastplate and the backplate, which resembles a stylized human torso, possibly reflects European incfluence. Both plates are forged from crucible steel, which also is referred to as watered steel because of the subtle rippling pattern visible in the structure of the metal. Watered steel was used often for sword and dagger blades, but only seldom for armor, and then only for examples of superior quality.. Cuirass 22848Iron tripod ca. 575-550 B.C.

Damper for a horn made of cardboard, blue paper, green felted fabric, rope and metalFront Half of a Tournament Helm ca. 1510-20 Anglo-Flemish Constructed of two sturdy plates of steel capable of withstanding the blow of an opponent's blunted lance, this front half of a helm for the joust was originally secured by pivots to the rear half (now missing) of lighter metal. The helm was bolted to the jouster's cuirass, thus rendering the head and torso rigid. The large ventilation opening on the right side is protected by a thick flange. Similar helms are recorded in English churches; this one is reputed to have come from Battle Abbey, Sussex. Traces of an armorer's mark, apparently an M surmounted by a crescent, which is thought to be that of Guillem Margot (active in Brussels, recorded 1505-20), are evident on the left side (only the tips of the crescent are discernible). The same mark appears on other armor parts in the Metropolitan Museum's collection, acc. nos. 14.25.572, 29.158.1h, 29.158.38, and 29.158.52.. Front Half of a Tournament Helm.

Its conical shape deflected glancing blows to the head. Italian chronicles refer to professional men-at-arms as barbuti. The word derives from the Italian barba, or beard, a reference to the hood of mail often attached to these early helmets. The row of small holes along the face opening and neck were for the attachment of the hood and lining.Covered box 918-1392 Korea The swastika incised in the center of this box is an ancient Indian symbol of auspiciousness that was introduced to Korea with Buddhism..

Date: late 14th century.This unusual box is difficult to date precisely. The use of gold in the background is uncommon and suggests that the box was particularly valuable. The shallow carving of the scholar on the top and the dragons amid clouds on the sides suggests a thirteenth-century date. However, the official is wearing a rank badge on his back, a practice that did not begin until the late fourteenth century. He stands before an incense burner and may be praying to the heavens, a traditional Chinese practice. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Tea Jar 1680 Japan.

The section covering the shoulder, known as a grandguard, was bolted down firmly over the left side together with a reinforcing (second) breastplate. The grandguard served as a target and was often fitted with a trellis pattern to grapple the lance head after impact. The helmet was bolted to the upper section (bevor) for added thickness and protection, replacing the heavy jousting helm of the past.. Steel .Shoes mid-19th century American.

Depressing the free ends of the tongues with the thumbs produces a gentle ringing sound, sometimes augmented by jingling objects attached to the board, and amplified by holding the instrument in a hollow gourd. Tuning is accomplished by sliding the tongues in or out in order to change their vibrating length. Lamellaphones are distributed across sub-Sahara Africa and were brought by slaves to Latin America. They are known by many names that may also be shared with xylophones. Most names have word stems which include: -mbila; -mira; -limba; or -rima. Westerners, not recognizing differences in construction, have simplified the name to two regional terms calling them either mbPitcher and pot for atole, Purepecha culture, Mexico, collected in 1994, clay, natural pigments and varnish, Anthropology National Museum, Madrid, Spain.Decorative Door Boss And Nail; wrought iron; a) H x diam.: 2.2 × 6.9 cm (7/8 × 2 11/16 in.) b) H x diam.: 4.2 × 1.9 cm (1 5/8 × 3/4 in.)Sjako officer Infantry, M.1854, J.F.
