Cuirass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cuirass by Agamemnon. The image shows a large, silver-colored, metal armor piece. The armor is made up of multiple rectangular plates with rounded tops, arranged in two columns. Each plate features a key design in the center and is bordered by small bumps. The plates are connected by metal chains on either side. A large, rusted lock and a smaller padlock are attached to the center of the armor, with the padlock hanging down. The background of the image is white.
