Over the years of use, the uppermost red lacquer layer is rubbed off and the underlying black becomes visible.

By far the most typical method for utilizing cloth for armor involved forms of quilting. Quilted armor generally consists of an envelope of fabric that is stuffed with a shock-absorbing padding, which is stitched in place. Far more unusual is armor made up of layered fabric. The defensive quality is achieved by placing many sheets of Sample of Armour Plate Covered with Copper, anonymous, c. 1870 sample Armored plate sample on both sides with three layers: a layer of unidentified material, a layer of lead, a layer of copper.

Date: probably 19th century.This slipper stirrup, cast in bronze, mimics in metal the shape and decoration of a traditional leather boot. The rope design on the edge copies the sewing of the inside leather lining found on some other examples. The high quality of the metal casting is a direct inheritance of the metalworking skills displayed by Peruvian native populations before the conquest. Introduced to South America by the Spaniards in the 16th century, horses soon became an important element in the lives of many local populations, of both colonial and native origin. As a horse would be highly valued by its owner, the latter would likely cover it with beautiful and elaborated tack, especially during festivals or other celebrations.
