For Sha-Ul : Pembroke Garniture, 1557. (image-heavy)

so.... a trip along to the Kelvingrove along with my dear other half, and a set of photos of the Pembroke Harness for Sha-ul. Enjoy.

I'm afraid as it was a visitor trip, rather than an academic one, I was'nt able to be up close and get *really* good detail shots - the pics are a little bit grainy and a bit dark in places. If better shots are required, I'll have to do copious grovelling and arrange a detailed study, I'm afraid.

now since 1/8th of a gig of photos would'nt really be very popular to post onto the armour archive, short of asking for a lynching, here's a few samplers, and a compressed archive file is lurking on my personal site. If people want a copy, on grounds that my bandwidth is a little bit limited. please PM away and I'll send you the URL... otherwise my folio site will meltdown under an accidental DDOS, I expect.

Enjoy the pretties:

Flash photography's allowed in the armoury? That's surprising.

Do you have any shots that bring more focus on the faulds?

Great pics, btw.

Was that harness russetted when new, or is that an age patina?

Vermin,

The armor was apparently bright when new. If you flex the elbows fully, you can see bright steel in the protected under laps. It acquired a brown patina through neglect (?). The patina was "improved" around 1900 or so.

makes me wonder if the russeting/patina could now be removed without wrecking the engraving and gilding? rather a shame it was in such condition... and the placket an even worse state

Mac, How on earth would they "improve" the patina?
