Pocket 158413Tobacco pouch -Belt 19th century probably Eastern European This belt contains a number of interesting elements that suggest the wearer's status: intricately patterned handspun wool; variation in shapes and sizes of beads, which indicates that they are handmade; chain as trim and eye-catching bright blue beads. The inclusion of minute green beads in two small areas of the appliqué most likely has some symbolic meaning. It is important to note that while this object is identified as being from Yugoslavia, that entity did not exist until after World War I--first as the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, then, after 1929, as Yugoslavia (land of south Slavs"). The belt was given to the collection in 1932 by Henry F. DuPont, who had an important folk costume collection, when the countries in that Balkan region were known under that name..

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 electors 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 armor for heavy cavalry with exchange pieces for the tournament, parts of which are still preserved in the Saxon Electoral Armory in Dresden..
