"Steel and Leather: A Glimpse into the Magnificent World of Armor" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring craftsmanship of steel and leather. From the exquisite Peytral adorning a horse armor to the intricately designed Mitten Gauntlet, each piece tells a story of strength, skill, and artistry. Take a journey to Mühlaus where Georg von Wolframsdorf's horse armor showcases an impeccable blend of steel plates and supple leather. Crafted around 1480, this masterpiece embodies both functionality and elegance. Moving forward in history, we encounter Jorg Seusenhofer's Mitten Gauntlet for the Right Hand from Innsbruck. Created between 1530-1540, this gauntlet demonstrates meticulous attention to detail with its articulated fingers encased in sturdy metal protection. The Three-Quarter Field Armor of Anime Construction transports us to Innsbruck circa 1560. This remarkable suit exemplifies innovation as it combines traditional elements with unique anime-inspired motifs - a true testament to the evolving nature of armor design. No ensemble would be complete without a trusty weapon by your side. The Hand-and-a-Half Sword hailing from Switzerland boasts a hilt reminiscent of mid-16th century Swiss style while its blade carries echoes from the 19th century - an intriguing fusion that bridges different eras. As we delve deeper into our exploration, let us not forget about accessories such as Pair of Spurs originating from Hungary during the 15th/16th century. Though their creator remains unknown, these spurs exude power and authority through their robust construction. Nuremberg presents us with Valentin Siebenburger's Cuirass dating back to 1530/40. Its imposing presence commands respect while offering vital protection for warriors on the battlefield - an embodiment of both formidability and practicality.
