Pair of Greaves with Sabatons
The Pair of Greaves with Sabatons by Hans Stopler features a single greave made of silver-colored metal with a smooth surface and visible rivets. The greave is shaped to fit around a leg, wider at the top and tapering towards the bottom. A distinctive feature is the foot part, known as a sabaton, which has a series of horizontal ridges across it. The greave stands on a flat surface against a plain background, with a shadow cast to the left. It has a slightly worn appearance with darker spots scattered across its surface.
