Hello, all.This question might seem silly. My problem is that I fell in love with the shoulder defences that Sandrine Bonnaire used in the 1993 Joan of Arc movie. I hope, someone has seen it since I am unable to post any pictures.
Brief description:
The entire shoulder section is made of a main plate, three or four lames down the upper arm and another lame upon the shoulder, just like the basic SCA spaulders.
The main plate widens toward the point of the shoulder and reaches a bit further down the chest and back than in the latter ones.
Please note: Thereīs no flutings on it, itīs more in the Western European/Italian Export style.
Iīve seen this kind of shoulder plates on many medieval sculptures and in many books, but couldnīt find any surviving example. One specimen in "Medieval Armour from Rhodes" comes pretty close to it, but that was all I could find so far.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ivo
