Humans making themself crab
What time period and culture?
the twitter post I got this from didn't specify about this particular suit, but the style itself was around in the 16th & 17th centuries
I found this other source which actually details the origin, this particular one seems to be Italian: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPorn/comments/r2u5oe/an_astounding_black_and_gilt_armor_made_for_carlo/
Thanks ❤️
