Context:

This style of breastplate, with its numerous articulating lames, was probably used by Hungarian Hussars, a type of light cavalryman . The rows of vertical holes once provided gilt-brass settings for glass-paste "jewels". The effect suggested the semi-oriental costume and armor of the Near East favored by Polish and Hungarian armies of the Renaissance.
