Tasset (proper left)
Metal armor piece, Tasset (proper left) by an unknown artist. The metal piece features a curved shape, likely designed to cover the knee or upper leg area, with a predominantly gray color and visible signs of wear and tear. Multiple horizontal bands encircle the piece, with brass rivets spaced along these bands and on the surface. Two leather straps are attached to the top, one on the left and one on the right, secured with metal buckles and rivets. The surface shows scratches and dark spots, indicating use and aging. The background of the image is white.
