Reinforcing Breastplate, Shoulder Defense, and Buffe (Chin Defense)
Metal breastplate with etched designs. The breastplate is composed of multiple sections, including a piece that covers the upper torso and a piece that covers part of the upper arm. The breastplate is primarily silver-colored; etched patterns cover the breastplate and arm piece. Two long, cylindrical objects are behind the breastplate; one is wood with red and black designs on it, and has a long, thin metal point. The background is white.
