Cuirass (Armor for the Torso and Hips) and Greaves (Lower Leg Defenses)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The armor consists of a torso piece and lower leg defenses. The torso piece is primarily composed of metal plates with a predominantly gray and gold color scheme. A large gold design featuring a horse or other animal is on the front. The top and bottom of the torso piece feature blue accents. The lower leg defenses are made up of multiple small, rectangular metal plates arranged in a grid pattern. These plates exhibit a similar gray and gold coloration to the torso piece. A blue pleated section separates the torso piece from the lower leg defenses. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray and then white at the bottom.
