the chanfron (Fig. 1136b) with small crinet (Fig. 1136c), and the stirrups (Fig. 1136d).
The left gauntlet, which is missing, has been replaced by a left gauntlet of the suit (now at Windsor Castle) of Henry, Prince of Wales (Vol. v, Fig. 1435), of which suit the right gauntlet, once in the Meyrick Collection, is now in the Wallace Collection (Laking Catalogue, No. 668).

Fig. 1138. Portions of a suit of armour
The chanfron belonging is shown in Vol. iii, Fig. 1014c. Made for George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, K.G. Probably English, by an unknown armourer. The Earl is represented as wearing a suit very similar in a family portrait at Appleby Castle. A miniature of the Earl by Isaac Oliver also exists in the collection of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch in which he is represented wearing armour of a starred decoration (Fig. 1140). Tower of London, Class II, No. 85
In the Tower is an unfinished mezeil which appears to be a piece of this suit, on it the rose and fleur-de-lis are recessed, but no engraving has been executed (Fig. 1134).
