Ein orthopädisches Harnischinstrument zum Strecken krummer Beine aus der Dresdner Kunstkammer Kurfürst Augusts von Sachsen (1526–1586) (2022)

unapi

In 1894, the Germanisches National Museum in Nuremberg acquired an instrument resembling a leg harness. Stiff legs could be bent or stretched with it by means of lateral threads. Judging by the etched decoration, it comes from the collection of Elector August of Saxony (1526–1586). A comparison with contemporary leg harness reveals that the piece was originally made as an orthopaedic instrument. It completed the collection of surgical instruments in Dresden. Presumably, the plate harness was a technological condition for such orthoses and prostheses in many characteristics.
