Armor, ca. 1575
Inscribed: D.G.V. Lochorst
Flemish (possibly Antwerp)
Steel, embossed and punched
Gift of Christian A. Zabriskie, 1938 (38.137)

Though clearly inspired by French examples, this armor is embossed with ornament of distinctly Flemish character. This is the only recorded work by Lochorst, possibly a goldsmith rather than an armorer, whose signature is found on the backplate.
