Culture: Roman. Dimensions: Other: 12 in. (30.5 cm). Date: 1st or 2nd century A.D..Left hand holding a scroll. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Pair of Stirrups from a Horse Armor Made for a Member of the Collalto Family ca. 1560 Italian, probably Milan These stirrups belong to a horse armor (acc. no. 21.139.2), dating from about 1560, which is one of the few complete examples of its period to be preserved. It comes from the armory of the counts Collalto at the castle of San Salvatore, near Treviso, where it was presumably kept from the late sixteenth until the early twentieth century. The bands of etched ornament include classically inspired trophies of arms and armor and musical instruments. These were standard decorative motifs on Italian armor of the period, but here they are depicted with much more precision, on a larger scale, and in far greater detail and variety than usual. The high quality of the horse armor and its elaborate decoration indicate that it must have belonged to a leading member of the Collalto family, perhaps Collatino Collalto (1523-1569), who was famous both as a soldier and as a man of letters.The assFashion, Italy, 20th century.

This helmet, which dates to the 12th-13th century (late Heian to early Kamakura period), would have originally been decorated with a gilt copper plate (nihjiro) on its front and back, respectively, each featuring three arrow-shaped elements (shinodare). Although in fragmentary condition, the helmet is a rare example, with relatively few of this type existing today.. Helmet Bowl (Hoshi-Kabutobachi). Japanese. 12th-13th century. Steel.
