"Puppy protector"


Lindus

Recommended Posts

Lindus,

if this is an original one-you may ask Robert Winter here in mine eyes...

He once sold an near similar one in regard of the execution(this one,but was for an Horse)

From which catalogue are those pictures taken from?

 

I just guess-that if this shall be real-it certainly is inside an collection and does not sort out from "noname"...?

It somehow reminds me to Kanton workmanship...

I don't think it was really intended to protect a dog from a sword attack or from arrows...maybe more like a status symbol or a novelty.

Someone with too much money and a desire to show others how "l33t" he was :D

Could have been someone who took his dog to battle though, and didn't want to risk a stray arrow getting through. Any number of possibilities, considering that armorers were like any other craftsman...wanting to do something different occasionally just for fun.
