Composed Armor

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Full-body armor made of metal, titled "Composed Armor" by artist unknown. The armor consists of a helmet with a visor covering the face, a chest plate with rivets and etched designs, articulated shoulder pieces, arm pieces, a belt around the waist, and leg pieces. The armor has a metallic sheen and appears to be made of interlocking plates. The hands are covered with gloves that are part of the arm pieces. The armor stands on a flat surface against a plain background. The feet are clad in pointed metal or leather coverings. The overall appearance is that of a knight's armor.
