介绍（中）	这种装饰华丽的盔甲是战斗和锦标赛中使用的大型装饰品的组件的混合体。近距离头盔和手臂防御是为了倾斜，这是一场角逐，其中屏障将两名骑马的参赛者隔开。不对称的tasset（大腿上部防御）用于锦标赛，这是由两组手持钝矛和剑的骑乘参赛者进行的模拟战斗。胸甲没有长矛支架，背板用于步行或步兵使用的比赛。肩部防御和腿部盔甲可以在战斗和比赛中穿着。盔甲的蓝钢表面被蚀刻并镀有装饰带，有些是低浮雕的，包括带状物、怪诞、寓言人物和神灵。胸甲顶部的带翅膀的人物，手持喇叭和棕榈树枝，象征着名望。这种复杂的装饰是意大利军械师最广泛的装饰之一，并且从大约1575年到1600年一直很流行。他们巨大的费用和精心的装饰使它们只为有限的一群贵族顾客负担得起。这件盔甲似乎是萨克森-魏玛公爵订购的，直到 1920 年代才被保存在德国城堡中。
介绍（英）	This richly decorated armor is a mix of components from a large garniture for battle and tournament use. The close helmet and arm defenses are for the tilt, a joust in which a barrier separated two mounted contestants. The asymmetrical tassets (upper thigh defenses) are for the tourney, a mock combat fought by two groups of mounted contestants armed with blunted lances and swords. The breastplate, with no lance rest, and the backplate are for the tournament fought on foot or for infantry use. The shoulder defenses and the leg armor could be worn both in battle and in the tournament. The armor’s blued steel surfaces are etched and gilt with bands of ornament, some in low relief, that includes strapwork, grotesques, allegorical figures, and gods. The winged figure at the top of the breastplate, holding a trumpet and palm branch, symbolizes Fame. Garnitures of this complexity were among the most extensive developed by Italian armorers and remained in vogue from about 1575 to 1600. Their enormous expense and elaborate decoration made them affordable to only a limited group of noble patrons. This armor appears to have been ordered by the duke of Saxe-Weimar, and it remained in a German castle until the 1920s.
