You see a man in fancy dress. He wears a shiny metal breastplate over his coat. His hand rests on a sword hilt. The armor gleams against dark clothes. The odd part? The breastplate looks too small. It doesn’t fit right over his belly. This mix of armor and fancy clothes was a fashion joke in the 1500s. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see it in person.
