Three-Quarter Armor

Kolman Helmschmid

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Full-body armor on a mannequin, predominantly silver in color, made up of numerous metal pieces fitted together. The armor includes a helmet with a faceplate featuring horizontal eye slits and a grid pattern over the mouth and nose. The body armor covers the torso, arms, and legs, with articulated sections for mobility. The armor is mounted on a mannequin wearing black tights, standing on a round gray base. The background is plain, transitioning from dark gray at the edges to light gray in the center. The armor style is characteristic of three-quarter armor.
