Plate armor offered numerous possibilities for decoration in a variety of techniques: with applied borders, paint, heat-patination, embossing, etching, engraving and pointill?, gilding, and inlay. In addition, helmets and breastplates were covered in textile while wooden shields continued to be decorated, usually with more or less elaborate heraldic devices.
