Breast and Backplate from an Armor

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two pieces of metal armor. The piece on the left has a wide, curved top edge with a rope-like design along the top; it is made of metal with a weathered appearance, exhibiting signs of wear and tear. The piece on the right has a flat top edge and a similar weathered appearance. Both pieces have a curved base and are shaped to cover the torso, with the left piece having a more pronounced curve and a series of panels or plates visible on its surface. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The armor appears to be made by Hans Stopler. The armor consists of a breastplate and backplate.
