Left shoulder defense, also known as a pauldron. Made of silver-colored metal. The main body of the pauldron is shaped to fit over a shoulder, curved to protect the shoulder and upper arm. The pauldron has a ridge running along the top. There are metal strips along the edges, with small gold rivets. The pauldron features an etched design on the top half, depicting a dragon or serpent-like creature. The design includes foliage and other ornate details. The background of the image is gray. The pauldron appears to be a piece of historical armor. It has a decorative style consistent with 16th-century armor.
