Peytral

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal breastplate titled "Peytral" by an unknown artist. The breastplate is made of metal, with a curved shape to fit the torso. It has a ribbed design on the front, with lines running in a curved pattern from top to bottom. The breastplate is adorned with rivets around the edges. The metal appears weathered and worn, with visible signs of aging and use. The background of the image is a plain surface, likely a table or other flat surface, with a subtle shadow cast by the breastplate.
