Horse helmet with one-piece skull provided with a low comb, raised visor with large, sharply pointed eye-slots like the ventail featuring air holes on the right side.

The gorget with wide back plate, with neckline with twisted rope and the other plates with festooned border. Swallow-tailed breastplate with a carved and twisted neckline. In the centre at the top a curious circular open-work, perhaps a bullet hole, given the shape and position. The backplate is of simple construction and smooth. Complete brassards, one with a single-plate pauldron, one with multiple plates. Gauntlets with long, pointed cuffs and a rebated band in the centre, flaked gauntlets without fingers. The front backpiece of the chestplate with festooned borders and outlines. The tassets also with festooned borders. Fascinating composite armour. The mannequin is not included.
