Armor for Man and Horse Presumably Made for Baron Pankraz von Freyberg (1508–1565)

The image shows a suit of armor on a man and a horse. The man wears a full suit of armor, including a helmet with a visor, and holds a baton. He sits on a horse that also wears armor, specifically on its head, neck, and body. The horse stands on a raised platform with one front leg lifted. A small plaque is on a stand next to the platform. The background is gray. The armor for man and horse was presumably made for Baron Pankraz von Freyberg by Wolfgang Grosschedel.
