Three-Quarter Armor
Artist/maker unknownImage 1 of 31 / 3
The gilded monogram on the torso of this armor, along with the other decorative elements, indicate that it was commissioned by Duke Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (ruled 1568 to 1589). The survival of several comparable armors bearing the same monogram suggests that this suit was part of a set of similar armors made to outfit the duke and his entourage.
