The description of the concept in this drawing is: Protective garments of cloth or leather, covering the trunk and thighs, usually stuffed or quilted. Commonly used from the 12th to the 14th century in Europe, worn either over or under metal armor or as an independent defense. They were often made of rich fabric and embroidered with heraldic devices. (AAT)
