по датировке изображенный костюм близок 1320-м (кольчужные рукава с миттонами, налокотная чашка - см. P0236, 1325; P0270, 1329; P0152, 1327; P0077, 1324), а в 1340-х английские памятники изображали рыцарей с пластинчатыми элементами защиты рук и ног, хотя короткое сюрко (но уже выше колен и без поясного ремешка) более характерно для этого периода (см. P0331, 1342; P0612, 1348?; P0574, 1346)
