Sallet
Not on view
Numerous holes along the edge and at the front and back indicate that this sallet, like acc. no. 29.158.17, probably was mounted several times during its working life with textile coverings and gilt-metal appliqués in the Venetian fashion. The bowl's rough, unfinished edge suggests that it has been trimmed. On the right side at the back are three Milanese-style armorers' marks: BE(?) beneath a crown and below, struck twice, three letters (A over AP?) beneath a split-legged cross. The same marks are found on a slightly earlier Italian cuirass in the Historisches Museum, Lucerne, Switzerland.
