On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374

يُعدّ هذا الدرع من أكثر الدروع الاستعراضية الفرنسية الموجودة تعقيدًا واكتمالا. نُقش بدقة سطحه بموتيف كثيف من اللفائف الورقية تضمّ بداخلها شخصيات كلاسيكية وكائنات خرافية مشتقة من زخارف عصر النهضة المتأخر والزخارف الأسلوبية. كما أُدمج الهلال في عناصر الزينة، وهو رمز كان هنري الثاني يُحبّذه. وقد نجا عشرون رسمًا من التصميم الأصلي لهذا الدرع، أحدها لجان كوزان الأكبر والباقي لإيتيان دولون أو باتيست بيلاران، وجميعهم فنانون باريسيون متميزون من أواسط القرن السادس عشر الميلادي.
