Gothic Breastplate and Taces

Cleveland Museum of Art

The armor piece titled "Gothic Breastplate and Taces" by the artist is a metallic gray breastplate. The breastplate is shaped to fit the torso with a rounded top edge and arm holes. It appears to be made of metal, likely steel, and has a weathered appearance with visible scratches and spots. The piece consists of a chest section and a lower section, referred to as taces, which is wider and has a slight outward curve. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
