Elbow Defense (Couter)
The Elbow Defense (Couter) by an unknown artist is a grey metal piece of armor. The defense consists of two main parts: a curved, semi-circular plate covering the elbow and a smaller, more cylindrical piece attached to the side. The semi-circular plate has a long axis running vertically and a short axis running horizontally. The surface of the metal is weathered, with a predominantly light grey tone speckled with darker grey spots. A seam runs horizontally across the center of the semi-circular plate. Three small rivets are visible on the left side of the semi-circular plate. The cylindrical piece attached to the side has one visible rivet and two holes for additional rivets. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
