Pair of Thigh Defenses (Cuisses) with Knee Defenses (Poleyns)
Two metallic thigh defenses and knee defenses, appearing to be made of metal, likely steel, with a silver or gray color. The piece on the left has a curved shape covering the front of the thigh and knee, with a flat section at the top and a rounded section at the bottom. It has four rivets on the front and one on the side. The piece on the right is tubular, with a narrower top section and a wider bottom section, featuring two articulated parts. Both pieces have a smooth surface. The background is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or display case, with a shadow underneath the pieces. A magnified view of a rivet is visible in the bottom center. Text in the bottom right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
