Pair of Greaves
Pair of Greaves by Artist. Metal greave with a predominantly gray color and visible wear, marked by black spots and scratches. Two brass-colored straps with round flower-like designs on the ends are fastened around it. The top edge appears jagged and uneven, and the bottom edge is slightly curved. The greave widens at the top and tapers towards the bottom. The background is a plain light gray color.
