Italian export breastplate 1480 inv. num. A.1968.10
Detail of the wearer's left armhole showing the roll, the semi-parallel flute, part of the upper neck flute and part of the edge of the plackart. Looking at the roll we can see sloppy work closing the roll. We see the results of puckers which formed when the edge was tucked back in during final forming.
