Pair of Espaliers (Pauldrons/upper arm canons)
Metal armor pieces, two in number, positioned side by side. The pieces are silver-colored, made of metal, with a weathered appearance. They are shaped to cover the upper arm, with a curved top edge and a narrower bottom edge. Each piece consists of multiple horizontal strips of metal, secured by rivets. The strips are overlapping, with a decorative pattern of curved lines and rivets along the edges. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The armor pieces are positioned on a flat surface, with subtle shadows underneath.
