Gothic Bevor

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Gothic Bevor by Hans Stopler features a large, silver-colored metal plate covering the neck and chin area, with a distinctive V-shaped notch at the top for visibility. The plate is shaped like a downward-pointing triangle with curved sides and a flat bottom. It has a raised section at the top that folds over, with small rivet holes around its edge. The surface shows signs of wear and aging, with darker spots and discoloration. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the center.
