|
|
I stumbled on this 15th c. Austrian image during some sallet research. Note the figure at center rear. He appears to be wearing a blued or dark-painted visored sallet/bevor/rondels with triangular stripes (flames?) of a lighter color (I have only a b&w image, unfortunately). He wears matching gauntlets. The figure at far right also wears a dark helmet with similar decoration and a long, articulated tail. I've never seen artistic depictions of painted sallets, so I was excited to see this. Of course, it may simply depict an early step in the development of "black and white" armour. Whatever the case, I'd love to see a good recreation!
