Cuirass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Reddish-brown leather chest plate with a shiny finish, adorned with intricate designs and patterns along the edges. The chest plate is shaped like a curved rectangle, slightly wider at the top. A green cloth piece is on the left side. The lower portion features a woven material resembling tan or brown wicker or rattan, arranged in a circular pattern with thin strips. Several tan leather cords are tied to the front. The background transitions from white at the top to gray at the bottom. Cuirass by artist unknown.
