Metal armor piece, likely for the left shoulder and arm. The piece is predominantly gray with darker spots and areas. It consists of three main parts: a large top section, a middle section, and a smaller bottom section. The top section is shaped like a trapezoid with the top edge curved. The middle section is narrower with three horizontal strips. The bottom section is cylindrical with an elbow-like joint. The armor features etched designs including floral patterns, leaves, and scrollwork. Small round rivets secure the sections together and decorate the piece. The background is white with a shadow to the right. Produced by Wolfgang Grosschedel.
