Pointed Morion
Not on view
The etched and gilt ornament on this morion is typical of Milanese armor of 1570–90. The decoration, which covers virtuallly the entire surface, consists of vertical bands of interlaced strapwork forming knots and cartouches enclosing human or allegorical figures alternating with bands of trophies. The etching is deep and precise, allowing the gilt ornament to stand in relief against the darkened pebble ground.
