Pair of Shoulder Guards (Sodē)

The Pair of Shoulder Guards (Sodē) by an unknown artist, features a dark, rectangular piece of metal armor with a slightly rounded edge and two sections side by side. The left section depicts a raised design of a spiral wave with a dragon underneath. The right section depicts a raised design of a dragon on a spiral wave. Both sections have a row of small circles along the bottom and a row of small squares or rectangles above. There are metal fasteners at the top of each section and a horizontal metal piece connecting the two sections. The shoulder guards sit on a white surface in front of a light-colored wall.
