Top left: Life-sized mounted Knight in Armor;
Top right: War hat or Kettle hat, circa 1475-1500;
Bottom left: Sword and Riveted Steel Male Shirt, circa 1400s;
Bottom right: Portrait of a Woman by Corneille de Lyon (1500-1575), about 1540, Oil on Wood

Note: To the medieval mind, which gave deep spiritual meaning to everyday objects, the sword was viewed as the noblest of weapons since its shape symbolized the cross on which Christ died. [Display Placard, Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio]
