ARTISTRY IN ARMOUR by sangwann

ARTISTRY IN ARMOUR

Three beautifully engraved suits of armour exhibited at the Palace Armoury. I have added the description of each of them below the picture so you can read the information that was available. The suit of armour of Grand Master de Wignacourt is complete with appropriate armour of his horse. The armour that covered the horse’s head is next to the Grand Master’s suit and you can see the elaborate work that went into making these suits.

Somebody asked whether Max loved this museum. He did and he was mesmerized, stopping in front of each item and hearing the radio commentary while I found a seat and waited for him.
Many thanks for your views, comments, and FAV’s. They are very much appreciated.
This is so amazing, such magnificent workmanship. They must have weighed a ton! A fabulous set of shots.
