Shin Guard (Sune-ate) by Artist. A curved, irregularly shaped piece of armor with a dark blue fabric covering and a tan and black patterned top section. The top section features a honeycomb-like design with 25 circular holes. Underneath the top section are nine long, thin, curved metal pieces arranged vertically, attached to a metal mesh. The left side of the armor has a rectangular section with a greenish-tan color and visible signs of wear. The edges of the armor are trimmed with a tan material. A gradient background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
