Tilting Suit (composed)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Full-body armor made of silver metal. The armor consists of a helmet with a pointed top and a face mask that covers the entire face except for small holes for vision. The body armor covers the torso, arms, and legs. The torso piece has a high collar and covers the chest and abdomen. There are armored shoulder pieces, upper arm pieces, elbow pieces, and forearm pieces. The arm on the right is covered to the wrist, while the arm on the left is covered to just below the elbow. The leg pieces cover the thighs and calves. There are gold rivets throughout the armor. The armor appears to be on display, against a dark gray background that lightens towards the center. The armor is titled "Tilting Suit (composed)" and attributed to an unknown artist.
