Crinet by Romain des Ursins: A curved piece of armor made of metal, comprising numerous small, overlapping plates that resemble scales. The plates are arranged in a curved shape, with the left end lower than the right. The metal plates are light gray with darker spots. A section of chainmail hangs from the bottom. The right end of the armor is broken or detached, with three separate curved pieces. The background is light grey.
