The image depicts a Vamplate, a hand guard for a lance, crafted by Matthes Deutsch. The object is made of metal, likely steel, with a silver-gray color and visible signs of wear. It has a circular shape with a larger top half and a smaller bottom half. The top half is more rounded, while the bottom half is slightly flattened. A circular opening is situated in the center, surrounded by four small holes, two on each side. Two small circular indentations and one small circular hole are positioned below the central opening. The object appears to be divided into two parts, with a narrow gap running horizontally across the middle. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
