Brigandine Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Brigandine Plate made by an unknown artist. The plate is made of rusted brown metal. The plate is shaped like a curved piece with an angled top left. Small metal rivets line the perimeter. There are two small buckles visible, one on the top left and one on the bottom left. The plate has a rough edge on the bottom right. The background of the image is light gray. The plate appears to be old and worn. There are darker spots and discoloration on the plate's surface. The plate's surface is pockmarked with tiny holes and imperfections.
