Breastplate in the Maximilian Style

Cleveland Museum of Art

The breastplate is made of metal, likely steel, with a predominantly silver-gray color. It has a ribbed section in the middle and a fluted design. The top edge is curved, and the sides are shaped to fit around the body. The bottom edge has a flared, curved shape with rivets around the edge. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The breastplate appears to be in the Maximilian style, a type of armor named after Emperor Maximilian I, who ruled in the early 16th century.
