Pair of Pauldrons (Shoulder Defenses)
Metal armor pieces, two in total, positioned side by side. The piece on the left is shaped to fit on the left shoulder, with a curved top and a protruding point at the back. It consists of interlocking metal strips, riveted together in horizontal bands. The piece on the right is similarly shaped but for the right shoulder, featuring an embossed design of a bird. Both pieces have a dark metallic color, and a decorative braided metal edge along the top and bottom. The background is plain white.
