1520·Steel and leather·H.: 55.9 cm (22 in.)

<p>The high waistline, boldly faceted breast, and deeply roped edges of this cuirass reveal Siebenberger’s masterful evocation of the tastes of the time. The form is both functional and decorative and serves as a benchmark for high-quality munitions (serial production) armor made by the city of Nuremberg’s flourishing arms industry.</p>
