Breastplate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a breastplate made of silver-colored metal. The breastplate is shaped to fit the torso, with a curved top and a flared bottom. Two straps are visible at the top. The surface is adorned with etched designs, featuring a central line down the middle with symmetrical etchings on either side, resembling fabric folds or drapery. The bottom section features a wider, slightly flared piece with rivets along the edges. The metal shows signs of wear and aging, with darker spots and discoloration throughout. The background behind the breastplate is gray. The title of the image is "Breastplate".
