Horse's Crinet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts Horse's Crinet, created by an unknown artist. The object is a curved piece of armor made of metal with a bronze or copper color. It consists of multiple horizontal sections. The armor has a darker metal strip along its bottom edge. Small bronze rivets hold the sections together. Two leather straps are visible, one on each side, near the bottom. The background is a gradient from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The armor piece is positioned at an angle, with the left side closer to the viewer. The right end of the armor tapers to a point.
