Description

This small-scale armor dates back to the Momoyama to early Edo periods. There appear to be repairs made during the late Edo period and the modern era. The crown plate of the large sleeves and the first row (iron plates) seem to be of modern origin. The armor is made from a mix of iron and leather, while the skirt and large sleeves are crafted from renn leather, surrounded by metal fittings made of iron. Please note that a stand is not included.
