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.. Brigandine Plate 34357First World War (1914-1918).

(63.5 cm) W. 16 1/2 in. (41.9 cm); quiver; L. 20 in. (50.8 cm) W. 11 1/2 in. (29.2 cm); belt; L. 50 3/4 in. (128.9 cm) W. 1 1/4 in. (3.2 cm). Date: 15th-17th century.Matching sets of bow case, quiver, and belt of this relatively early type are very rare. The few examples that exist in museum collections were acquired mostly in the early twentieth century. Both the bow case and the quiver are covered densely with decoration executed in black lines and golden brown shellac (now darkened with age), employing a method very similar to the technique found on some Tibetan leather arm defenses and horse armor. They are also fitted with domed bosses of pierced and chiseled iron damascened with gold and decorated with dragons, scrollwork, and blossoms. These bosses relate closely to the ironwork seen on Tibetan swords, saddle plates, and other objects. Museum: Metropolitan MusNecklace of Silver Birds 12th-15th century Chimú.
