Italian export breastplate 1480 inv. num. A.1968.10

The profile of the breastplate and fauld (the fauld is sticking up because of the table). If we look carefully at the side, we can see rivets in the upper breastplate and the plackart. This indicates that there is almost certainly a leather connecting the plates on the inside.
