Description
Jitterbug has turned a piece of medieval armor into a unique wall mural. Think you’ve had a tough day? Imagine the brutal battles of the past. In 1840, a large collection of medieval armor was found in the ruins of the Chalcis fortress on the Greek island of Euboea, then called Negroponte under Venetian rule. The fortress was destroyed by the Turks in 1470. The Chalcis hoard included many rare pieces from the 14th and 15th centuries. This wallpaper mural gives a unique look into the armor used and the battles men endured in this era.
