Gothic Breastplate

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gothic Breastplate by an unknown artist. Metal breastplate made of silver-colored metal with a weathered appearance. The plate covers the torso, with a curved top edge and a pointed bottom edge. There are two curved indentations at the top for the shoulders. Small rivets are visible along the top edge and sides. The plate is shaped to fit the body, with a slight curvature and angled sides. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
