Breastplate with Tassets
The image shows a breastplate with tassets by an unknown artist titled "Breastplate with Tassets". The breastplate is made of metal and has a cross shape in the center. The cross is black and has a wide vertical line and two shorter horizontal lines extending from the middle of the vertical line. The breastplate has a curved top edge with a decorative border of interlocking heart shapes. The sides of the breastplate have a similar decorative border that extends down to the tassets. The tassets are two curved pieces of metal that hang down from the breastplate, one on either side, and are attached by rivets. The breastplate and tassets are made of a weathered, scratched, and worn metal with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is light gray.
