Armor

Heilig Jörg

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a full-body armor suit on a stand. The armor is made of metal and appears to be a historical replica. The armor consists of a helmet with a visor covering the face, a chest plate, shoulder guards, arm guards, a belt, a loincloth-like piece, thigh guards, and shin guards. The armor is made up of multiple pieces that fit together to cover the entire body, except for the face and hands. The armor stands on a dark wooden stand with a flat top. The background is a plain wall with a light-colored surface. The overall appearance of the armor and the presentation on the stand suggests that it is a piece titled "Armor" by Heilig Jörg.
