Buffe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal object with a wide, curved top and a narrower, curved bottom. The object is made of dark gray metal with visible signs of wear and tear, including spots and marks. The top part is triangular, tapering to a point on the right side. The bottom part is more rounded and has several small holes along its edge. The object appears to be some type of armor, possibly a historical piece. The title of the piece is "Buffe" by an unknown artist.
