Dies ist eine der elaboriertesten und am vollständigsten erhaltenen französischen Paraderüstungen. Ihre Oberfläche ist mit einem dichten Blattmuster beschlagen, in dem sich klassische Figuren und Fabelwesen wiederfinden, die aus der italienischen Spätrenaissance und dem Manierismus entlehnt sind. Die Mondsichel, ein bevorzugtes Motiv Heinrichs II., ist ebenso in die Verzierung eingearbeitet. Zu dieser Rüstung sind 20 Originalskizzen erhalten. Eine davon stammt von Jean Cousin dem Älteren, die anderen von Étienne Delaunne oder Baptiste Pellerin, beide angesehene Pariser Künstler zur Mitte des 16. Jhds.
