Breastplate (with lance rest and fauld/ Nuremberg)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Metal breastplate made of steel with a central curved section and a fluted lower section. The central section has a smooth surface with some visible scratches and marks, and a twisted rope-like design along the top edge. The lower section is composed of horizontal overlapping plates with rivets and a central vertical seam. There are three curved metal straps with holes and rivets at the bottom. A metal arm rest is attached to the left side. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The breastplate appears to be from Nuremberg.
