Portions of a Field Armor
The armor consists of a chest plate, two shoulder pieces, two arm pieces, and a waist section. The chest plate is a single piece of metal covering the front and back, with a rectangular plate on the front featuring four round rivets. The shoulder pieces are attached to the chest plate and have a curved design with a raised edge. The arm pieces are long and cylindrical, with a series of rivets along the edges. The waist section is made up of horizontal strips of metal overlapping each other. The armor is silver in color and appears to be made of metal, with visible rivets throughout. A black fabric piece covers the top of the display. The background is gray and white. The armor is by an unknown artist and titled "Portions of a Field Armor".
