Catalogue Note
This is a study for a detail of the costume of the Prince entering the Briar Wood in Burne-Jones’ famous decorative project for the Earl of Faringdon at Buscot Park in Oxfordshire painted between 1874 and 1884. This unusual metal and leather armoured belt is not worn by the Prince in the finished painting, but is instead worn by one of the sleeping knights.
