15th c caps of rope

Post by Tracy Justus »

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has two caps sewn of coiled rope which are supposedly 15th c arming caps. There are no photos on the Met's website but there are photos here. Does anyone know anything about them? They are ex-Riggs collection and donated to the MMA in 1913.
