Description
The Plate Hips from Orlando’s Pillar are meticulously crafted to replicate the design seen on the famed 15th-century statue of Roland (Orlando) in Bremen, Germany—also known as Orlando’s Pillar. A representation of civic virtue and knightly ideals, this piece of armor embodies the elegance and practicality of late Gothic European armoring.
These hips consist of several steel plates skillfully articulated to allow unrestricted movement while maintaining comprehensive protection across the hips and upper thighs. The Gothic fluting detail adds both structural integrity and visual flair, enhancing both form and function. Whether you’re building a historically accurate kit or looking for eye-catching tassets for battle, these plate hips serve as a strong foundation for your leg harness.
Ideal for reenactors, historical martial artists, or collectors, the Plate Hips from Orlando’s Pillar combine history, craftsmanship, and usability into one commanding piece.
