Gorget

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a silver gorget, a type of armor, by an unknown artist. The gorget has a wide, oval opening at the top and is shaped to fit around the neck. It is made of metal, likely steel, and has a silver color with visible scratches and marks. The gorget has a decorative edge along the bottom, with a series of curved shapes resembling leaves or petals. Two small gold-colored hinges are visible on either side of the gorget, near the top. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The gorget casts a shadow on the surface below it.
