This shaffron is part of an important garniture of armor for field and tournament use made for Nikolaus "the Black" Radziwill (1515\u20131565), duke of Nie\u015bwie\u017c and Olyka, prince of the empire, and grand chancellor and marshall of Lithuania\u2013\u2013one of the wealthiest and most important nobles in Poland and Lithuania. Several elements of the garniture survive, six of which (including this one) are preserved in the Metropolitan Museum's collection. Made by the distinguished Nuremberg armorer Kunz (Konrad) Lochner, the Radziwill armor, with its overall etched design of interlaced strapwork and brilliant polychromy, is one of the most distinctive and colorful examples of the sixteenth century. (The right eye guard and portions of the left are modern restorations; the majority of the polychromy is repainted.)Free picture Shaffron Belonging to an Armor of Duke Nikolaus \ integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
