Pair of Arm Defenses
The Pair of Arm Defenses by artist features two silver arm guards. The top portion of each guard is a long, tapered cylinder with a wide top that becomes narrower toward the bottom. The surface of the cylinder appears weathered with many small pits. A band encircles the bottom of the cylinder. The bottom portion of the guard is a curved, tapered piece resembling a pointed teardrop. It appears to be attached to the bottom of the cylinder and also shows a weathered surface with small pits and scratches. The background of the image is light gray.
