Armor

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Full-body armor on a stand, titled "Armor", by an unknown artist. The armor is silver with a red tunic underneath. The armor consists of a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, a chest plate, belt, waist armor, knee pads, and shin guards. The armor is made of metal and has a textured, chainmail-like pattern on the shoulders and upper chest. The red tunic underneath has a plaid pattern and is visible through the gaps in the armor. The armor is standing on a round wooden base. The background is plain white with shadows cast by the armor.
