He’s got a swan on his head! It’s not the best thing to have
as a bearing animal upon your helmet. For one thing, it doesn’t strike fear into
the hearts of your enemies, though it may demonstrate that you’re capable of
breaking a man’s arm. It may also demonstrate that you’re a real git; as well
as making yourself a large target, though your purpose may be to draw fire away
from those surrounding you on account of your armour. It’s even painted for
heaven’s sake! The armour looks hardly used so maybe it was designed to be a showpiece
for the room or to wear on a special occasion. Its partner looks like a gorilla
wearing feathers. Perhaps they were presented as a joke by a foreign dignitary
or a gift of friendship. They might have even performed a song and dance in
them one night after a few glasses of mead.
