Swabian St George

Description

ID779

Harness based on the Swabian statue of St George in the Met.

Some interesting features of this harness.
While initially appearing symmetrical the arms are of a completely different construction. The right being of the fully articulated type while the left is a floating couter.
The combination gorget and bevor, along with the falling lame and typical gorget articulation, has a turner in the neck allowing a great degree of movement in all planes.

Many of the edges of plates are decorated with a dot pattern. While the pauldrons, couters and polyns have brass capped pyramidal rivets.
