Half armor, made by Martin Schneider the Younger. The armor is made of metal and has a dark gray color with visible rust spots. The armor consists of a helmet with a face guard featuring a T-shaped opening for the eyes and mouth, a breastplate, shoulder pieces, short sleeves, and a skirt composed of multiple horizontal overlapping plates. The armor has a wide, curved shoulder piece on each side, and the short sleeves are also made of metal. A wide leather or metal belt encircles the waist. The armor appears to be on display on a pedestal or stand, against a light-colored background.
