Jousting Armor (Rennzeug) and Matching Half-Shaffron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a suit of jousting armor, specifically a "Rennzeug," and a matching half-shaffron. The armor is made of metal and appears to be dark in color. The suit consists of a helmet with a pointed top and a face guard that covers the entire face, leaving only a small opening for the eyes. The body armor includes a chest plate, shoulder guards, arm guards, and leg guards. The left arm guard is shaped like a half-circle and extends over the shoulder, while the right arm guard stops at the elbow. The leg guards are segmented and cover the thighs and knees. The armor stands on a rectangular black base. The background of the image is white.
