knights on horseback, moat-surrounded castles,
and jousting tournaments. Age of Armor,

Massachusetts, presents pieces dating from the
late Middle Ages through the Renaissance. From
elaborately etched and gilded horse armor to
masterfully crafted hammered breastplates, this
historic collection presents the facts behind
the fairy tales!

century and meet contemporary suburban knights
in the platinum prints of California

She spent 2003-05 with members of the Society
for Creative Anachronism, an international group
devoted to re-creating the arts and activities
of the Middle Ages in contemporary times.
