Partial Suit of Armor in Maximilian Style

Cleveland Museum of Art

The armor is a metallic silver color, made of interlocking plates and chainmail. The suit consists of a helmet with horizontal slats covering the face, a chest plate, shoulder guards, elbow guards, a belt, a short skirt-like section, thigh guards, and knee guards. The chest plate, shoulder guards, elbow guards, thigh guards, and knee guards have horizontal ridges. There are two chainmail sections, one on each side of the short skirt-like section. The background is a gradient from black at the top to light gray at the center. The artist's style is referred to as Maximilian. The armor's style suggests it could be used for historical reenactments or as a decorative piece.
