Breastplate
The image shows a breastplate. The breastplate is made of metal, with a dark gray color and visible signs of wear and tear, including scratches and discoloration. It has a curved top edge with a twisted metal cord running along it. The breastplate is shaped to fit around the torso, with a wider bottom section and a narrower top section. There are two small metal pieces on either side, which appear to be hinges or straps. The left side has seven holes in a vertical line. The background is a plain gray surface. The breastplate is by an unknown artist.
