Another of the very rare period depictions of a Landsknecht bandolier, the small powder containers of tinned iron, ca. 1530-40, together with a matchlock arquebus being loaded, and an early form of a powder horn plus the the unusually thick early 16th c. matchcord.
From Johann von Schwarzenberg's illuminated book in the Kantonsbibliothek Appenzell, MC ms 13.

Best,
Michael
