Espalier
The image shows a piece of armor titled "Espalier" by an unknown artist. The armor piece is made of metal and appears to be a tasset, which protects the upper thigh. The armor is shaped to fit the leg, curved and tapered at the bottom. It comprises multiple horizontal overlapping plates, with the top plate being wider than the others. The plates are held together by rivets and have a brushed metal finish. The bottom edge features a decorative pattern of interlocking circles. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The armor piece casts a shadow on the surface below it.
