Inner Plate of a Forearm Defense (Vambrace)
The inner plate of a forearm defense, also known as a vambrace, is a gray metal piece with a flared, trapezoidal shape. The top edge is curved outward slightly, while the bottom edge is curved inward. The surface of the metal is pitted and speckled with darker spots. A small, vertical slit is visible on the right side of the plate, and two small holes are on the left. The background behind the vambrace is a plain light grey color.
