The breastplate is made of silver-colored metal. It has a large, rounded body with a narrower base and a wide top. A decorative rope-like design runs along the top edge. A curved metal piece protrudes from the left side, resembling a hook or a point. A decorative band encircles the body, just below the top edge. Small rivets are scattered across the surface. The base features three curved cutouts. The background is gray. The artist is Valentin Siebenbürger.
