Elbow Defense (Couter)

The image shows an elbow defense, also known as a couter, made by an unknown artist. The piece consists of two main parts: a larger, kidney-shaped section on the left and a smaller, curved section on top that connects to a cylindrical piece at the bottom. The entire piece appears to be made of metal, likely steel, and has a weathered appearance with visible black spots and discoloration across its surface. The background of the image is light gray. The piece has a hinge on the back and a small rivet or screw on the front. The cylindrical bottom part appears to have a seam down its length.
