介绍（中）	这是唯一已知的碎片，曾经一定是一件华丽的法国阅兵式盔甲。膝盖（或poleyn）由覆盖膝盖骨的主板组成，外侧有一个心形翅膀，上面有一部分跛脚，下面有一个向下重叠的跛脚。这最后一个有一个弯曲的、大胆地用绳子捆起来的下边缘，这表明它是一个从腰部延伸到膝盖的长铰接流苏的末端跛脚，这种流苏没有穿小腿防御。如此建造的盔甲遵循了意大利的原型，通常由轻骑兵穿着。它的浮雕和镀金装饰，包括密集的叶片状卷轴和主板前部带有羊角的怪诞面具（图2），让人想起了博物馆的法国亨利二世（39.121）盔甲的装饰图案和工艺，这件盔甲可能是1555年左右在巴黎的一家工作室制作的。膝盖以下的盘子上刻着由希腊字母chi（Ş）和phi组成的镀金花押字，表明它属于法国杰出的朝臣、士兵和艺术赞助人克劳德·古菲尔（1510–1570）、grandécuyer。同样的花押字，包含了克劳德和他的第二任妻子弗朗索瓦斯·德·布罗斯的首字母缩写，在Goufier的Oiron城堡（Deux-sèvres）的装饰中随处可见，在这位狂热的藏书家委托的众多书籍装订和手稿装饰上也随处可见。它再次出现在另一件盔甲上，这是一件蚀刻丰富、镀金的类似日期的法国紧身头盔，巧合的是，它也在大都会博物馆的收藏中（14.25-596）。
介绍（英）	This is the only known fragment from what once must have been a magnificent French parade armor. The knee (or poleyn) consists of a main plate covering the kneecap with a heart-shaped wing on the outer side, with a portion of the lame above and a deep downward-overlapping lame below. This last has a turned and boldly roped lower edge, suggesting that it was the terminal lame of a long articulated tasset that extended from the waist to the knee, a type with which no lower leg defenses were worn. Armor so constructed followed Italian prototypes and was typically worn by the light cavalry. Its embossed and gilt decoration, consisting of dense foliate scrollwork and a grotesque mask with ram's horns (fig. 2) at the front of the main plate, recalls the ornamental motifs and workmanship of the Museum's armor of Henry II of France (39.121), which was probably made in a Parisian atelier about 1555. Etched on the plate below the knee is the gilt monogram formed of the Greek letters chi (Χ) and phi (Φ) that identifies it as having belonged to the distinguished courtier, soldier, and patron of the arts Claude Gouffier (1510–1570), grand écuyer (master of the horse) of France. The same monogram, which incorporates the initials of Claude and his second wife, Françoise de Brosse, is found everywhere in the decoration of Gouffier's château of Oiron (Deux-Sèvres) and on the numerous bookbindings and manuscript illuminations commissioned by this ardent bibliophile. It recurs on another piece of armor, a richly etched and gilt French close helmet of similar date, which by happy coincidence is also in the Metropolitan's collection (14.25-596).
