Composed armour c. 1560 Landshut - E.1939.65.r
The view over the right arm. Showing the partial right pauldron - it is a full pauldron in the back but it does not extend over the breastplate. This is common when an armour is set up for the joust. The lance rest is removeable and adjustable. We also get a nice view of the arm and gauntlet and good details of the etched decoration. The jousting shield/shoulder reinforce is displayed away from the armour. It should be bolted directly onto the armour, so it would be much closer in use.
