Brigandine Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Brigandine Plate by its artist is a rusty brown metal plate with a distinctive shape, resembling a curved rectangle with a cutout on the right side. The plate's surface exhibits a dark brown patina with visible rust spots and small patches of lighter brown metal. The plate's edges feature a series of small rivets spaced evenly apart, with approximately 35 rivets along the perimeter. The plate's shape is asymmetrical, with a straight top edge and a curved bottom edge that tapers to a smaller width on the right side. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
