Pair of Thigh Defenses (Cuisses)
The Pair of Thigh Defenses (Cuisses) by an unknown artist are two metal pieces, likely made of steel, with a silver-gray color and a worn, weathered appearance featuring darker speckles. The cuisses are shaped like truncated cones, with the top portion being smaller than the bottom. The top piece is positioned at an angle, with its opening facing left and slightly upwards. A decorative line of small rivets encircles the top piece. The surface of both pieces shows signs of wear and tear, with visible scratches and discoloration. The background is a plain light gray color.
