Two Ear Guards from a Shaffron (Horse's Head Defense) of Emperor Charles V (1500–1558)
Two metal ear guards with pointed ends and curved tops, made of dark gray metal with a bronze-colored band around the top edge. The metal has a textured surface with an etched design. The ear guards are shaped like a half-moon or a crescent, with a small protrusion on the bottom edge. They are symmetrical and identical, with the left and right sides mirroring each other. The background is white.
