Half Armor
Half Armor by Orazio Della Monica: The armor consists of multiple pieces of metal fastened together. The helmet is a rounded, smooth shape with a visorless faceplate and a band of metal riveted across the forehead. The chest and upper torso area of the armor is covered by interlocking metal plates that are secured by rivets. The plates are shaped to fit around the body and have a wavy edge across the top. The left arm hole is open, while the right arm hole has a curved piece of metal that covers the shoulder and upper arm. A large curved piece of metal covers the lower torso and has a vertical slit in the center. The lower portion of the armor is made up of overlapping horizontal metal bands that are secured by rivets. The background is a plain gray wall. The image is in black and white.
