Gorget possibly from an Armor of Philip II, King of Spain
Metal gorget with a predominantly silver-colored surface, exhibiting a textured appearance. A wide, short neck hole is at the top. The gorget features a flared, curved shape that covers the neck and upper chest area, with the front being slightly longer than the back. Two small, rounded protrusions on either side near the back. The surface is adorned with gold-colored metal dots and intricate gold-colored etched designs. A central vertical band of design runs down the front, flanked by etched lines. The background of the image is gray, with the gorget casting a shadow on the surface below.
