Brigandine Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brigandine Plate by artist not specified. The object is a dark brown, rusted metal plate with a distinctive shape. The plate's top section is wider than its bottom section, with a concave curve on each side that tapers inwards towards the bottom. The plate's top edge is slightly curved downwards on either side. The plate features two rows of small, round metal rivets along its perimeter, spaced evenly apart. The rivets are darker in color than the plate itself. The background of the image is light grey.
