Here are our most wonderful colleagues mylnikovdm and - tatatadamm! - the author of absolutely breathtaking photos siurel drew attention to such amazing sculptures from the Florentine Medici chapel that simply excuse the fur coat wrapped up.
In general, the pictures:
Sculpture namba van:

Promotional video:
here in the best resolution. from the Internet. the only one.:
the monsters got out of the exoskeleton and are going to put them in a cupboard for the night.
Take a closer look at these. If the nerves are strong.
This is not an octopus tentacle:
And this is not a worm:
This is how maestro Michelangelo sees it as a medieval knight. Why would a knight need a head if he has an exoskeleton and tentacles?
However, the head can of course be attached. There would be a hunt:
On the worm / tentacle (it should be emphasized, everyone has different physiology, in fact!) He put on a dummy head, propped it up with his collar, and pushed the exoskeleton on - a lovely thing!
Now - portraits of the owners!
I won't even say who I look like. the cap is recognizable - it looks like the one that Mitra wore …
What are these ligaments in the throat?
but this one here is generally handsome smiling … somewhat similar to a dolphin … and also in a hat …
Side view:
Associated attributes: something sticking out from the side … a quiver or what?
a mug on a shield, similar to an octopus from a jack sparrow, a pirate of the caribbean (on a shield):
trimmed with suction cups. and the head of a bull … a caduceus at the top, or what?
also some kind of worm-type processes on the side:
there is a two-tailed lady on the shield. Gentlemen, the topic with … uh … revealed?;)
oops. omega. whether?
again a tentacle with eyes …
Well. Now we turn to my modest collection of the monstrous Kunstkameral freak show. I apologize in advance - I will not give attribution, I took a photo several years ago, everything is in a heap, it takes a lot of time. I will say one thing - they are made in portugal.
This headdress, as can be assumed, was worn by these dolphin-snout creatures, putting on an exoskeleton. and then they were called knights. Attention - there is also a bull near this helmet.
Then he became an attribute of heraldry.
does anyone understand how one could breathe and see through it?
these are all heraldic attributes. so that's who they went from, it turns out aristocrats …
this one is generally handsome - the deer king of the straightforward.
here's another from the internet:
this one from heraldry from somewhere:
this is the emperor hercules killing the emperor of persia:
And these are probably already hatched:
Kings of Portugal ??
something like this…
