Michał armour worn in Burgundy, including Flanders, has characteristics of both Northern and
Michalak Southern Europę. After a thorough analysis of the discussed details, the author includes
the armour of Archangel Michael from the Gdańsk polyptych among the examples of
the local stylistics of Burgundy and the Netherlands.
Other elements of the protective armour are smali eąuestrian shields with an edge
Crossing the middle and rounded lower part. There are two shields on both outer wings
of the polyptych. A very interesting piece is to be found in the buckler shield of Archan-
gel Michael, painted on the exterior part of Memlings work. It is almond-shaped with an
arched bulge in the middle. Other pieces of weaponry captured by Memling in The Last
Judgement are swords, ranked by the paper s author as type XVIII and XVIII a, based
on the typology created by Oakeshott and developed by Marian Głosek. Aside from
swords, in his painting the artist also captured battle forks, a military flail, lance, and
a mace spiked with nails. This leads to conclusion that The Last Judgement presents
pieces of eąuipment of the higher social class as well as plebeian weaponry. The whole
of the armament can be ąualified as typical of the 1460s and 1470s.
