Breastplate

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Breastplate by Hans Stopler features a large, curved metal plate covering the torso. The plate is made of silver-colored metal, likely steel, with a smooth surface and visible signs of wear. A decorative edge runs along the top, consisting of twisted metal. A smaller, curved piece of metal extends from the left side, possibly a strap or buckle. The bottom of the breastplate is wider and flared, with three horizontal lines and rivets around the edge. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
