Suit of Armor in Purple Susogo Laced Style 紫裾濃威鎧 兜・大袖・小具足付むらさきすそごおどしよろい かぶと・おおそで・こぐそくつき
Description
中世の大鎧を模し、小具足を加えた江戸時代の復古鎧。大鎧は右脇に独立した脇盾（わいだて）を備え、草摺を四間にし、原則として兜・大袖を伴う。本鎧の胴・大袖は概ね基本構造を踏襲し、各所に高肉透彫した豪華な葉菊の裾金物を打ち連ねる。札は革本小札を用い、威毛は上から白糸・薄紫糸・紫糸の紫裾濃威で、中世軍記にも上層武将の着料として散見する。退色が著しい絵韋（がわ）は茶染の藻獅子韋のようである。籠手は菊に蝶金物で飾ったいわゆる義経籠手（鎌倉時代、春日大社蔵）を模すが、丸龍の臂金（ひじがね）など独自の意匠も用いている。 兜は黒漆塗十六間星兜、前後には通例の鍍銀の地板を伏せて金銅の篠垂（しのだれ）を垂らすが、左右は高肉彫鍍金の這龍の金物を直接打った異形式である。立物は革の鍬形に獅噛（しがみ）と刳半月（くりはんげつ）を添え、三段の𩊱は二段を吹返し、小さな金銅高肉彫の乱菊を据えている。頬当は垂のない燕頬と、垂二段の喉輪を備え、他に小袴仕立の伊予佩盾、五枚筒臑当を伴う。
