Pair of Couters (Elbow Defenses)
Two silver elbow defenses, also known as couters, with a weathered appearance, are shown side by side on a white surface. The couters have an irregular shape, with a curved top and pointed bottom. They feature a design of raised lines and decorative edges. Each piece has two oval-shaped holes on the front. A ruler is placed in the bottom left corner for scale. The background is a plain gray wall.
