Back to the armour in this congenial place, the Wallace Collection. We are continually astonished that people could have worn it - and at the the resources, skill, and craftsmanship involved in making it.
My first choice was some swords - those handles make for helpful negative shapes -
followed by a man-in-metal -
whose armour had the most wonderful patterning -
What objects did the others choose?
