Crinet Plates 1510-20
Likely Italian. 2 lames most likely forming the second and third plates from the top of the crinet (the top plates that are not attached to the chanfron). The edges with half rolls and bordered by a line of lining holes. Decorated with etching. Etching closely resembles that on Mantova B-10, Wallace A89 and similar to the etching on the subsidiary plates of Henry VIII 'tonlet' armour from 1520. The etching on this piece is quite crude.
