These plates, once part of a saddle, formed a garniture for man and horse made for the sons of Emperor Maximilian II, archdukes Rudolf and Ernst. This armor was made for the tournaments held on the occasion of the marriage of their uncle, Archduke Charles of Styria, to Princess Maria of Bavaria in 1571. Most of the remaining elements of this armor are still in the collections of the Imperial Armories in Vienna. The decorative pattern, in the imperial colors of black and gold, forms elegant knots, withdistinctive foliage and hop sprigs filling the loops. Anton Peffenhauser was one of the wealthiest armorers of Augsburg, indeed one of the richest armorers of his time.
