if you ever want more detailed photographs/studies of that, let me know. I'm a bit of a regular at the Kelvingrove, and should be able to arrange to get close-up detail shots of the entire harness, possibly in seperate sections
I have had a hard time finding any images of his suite...any thing you can come up with would be greatly appreciated.

yes, the harness uniquely known for it's distinctive whorls, both on the horse's harness& on his besegues
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
I have thousands of photos of armor in my collection and I've seen all the famous ones a hundred times each. There are so many beautiful harnesses and garnitures and sets matching to astonishing bards... But if I could have one suit, it would be this one, for sure. It's unmarked in my photograph collection from some random armor collection in Northern Europe, I believe. Dated approximately 1525.
Why? Because it's bad ass.
