Mikolaj Hieronim Sieniawski, Leliwa Coat of Arms

 Salvee Omnes,

 

National Museum in Krakow has been digitalizing their collections - so I decided to corral some items associated with Mikolaj Hieronim Sieniawski, Leliwa coat of arms, who was a Field Crown Hetman during the reign of Jan III, and participated as a commander in many battles of this period, dying in present day Slovakia during the return of the Commonwealth armies to Poland from the 1683 Vienna campaign.

So here are the itemes - a portrait

 

his karacen scale armor with a winged hussar helmet /shishak - 

his sabre - 

his powder horn -

his beautiful saddle in detail 

 finally some of his portraits from wiki commons, a mix of the XVII and XVIII century works.
