Breast Defense (Peytral) from a Horse Armor

Breast Defense (Peytral) from a Horse Armor. Culture: Tibetan or Mongolian. Dimensions: H. 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm); W. 25 5/8 in. (65.1 cm). Date: 15th-17th century. In terms of its decoration, this peytral displays a far greater variety of motifs, executed in a more fluid and accomplished style, than any other comparable example of Tibetan horse armor. At the center of the upper section there is a Wish-Granting Jewel on a lotus throne flanked by symmetrical sprays of lush leafy stems and blossoms, and in the center of the lower section there is a Right-turning Conch Shell. The borders of the central sections are edged with silver wire, while the other sections have copper wire, both sewn in a fine chain stitch. Carbon 14 tests of the leather resulted in a date range of 1402 to 1626.
