The "Suit of Armour for the Earl of Pembroke" is a remarkable example of late 16th-century European armor craftsmanship, attributed to the renowned armorer Jacobe Halder. Halder, a master armorer of German origin, was active in England during the late 1500s and early 1600s, working primarily for the English court. His works are celebrated for their intricate design, superior craftsmanship, and the use of innovative techniques that were advanced for the period.

This particular suit of armor was commissioned for Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, a prominent nobleman and courtier during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The Earl of Pembroke was a significant figure in the Elizabethan court, known for his military service, patronage of the arts, and his influential role in the political landscape of the time. The armor was likely intended for ceremonial use rather than combat, reflecting the status and wealth of its owner.

The suit is composed of multiple interlocking plates, meticulously designed to provide both protection and mobility. It features elaborate etching and gilding, with decorative motifs that include classical figures, mythological scenes, and intricate scrollwork. The craftsmanship demonstrates Halder's mastery in combining functionality with aesthetic appeal, making the armor not only a protective garment but also a work of art.

The "Suit of Armour for the Earl of Pembroke" is currently housed in the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England, where it remains a significant piece within their extensive collection. It provides valuable insight into the martial culture of the Elizabethan era, as well as the technological and artistic advancements in armor-making during the late Renaissance. This suit of armor stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of Jacobe Halder and the high status of the Earl of Pembroke in the Elizabethan court.
