Brayette and Buttock Defense

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a historical piece of armor titled "Brayette and Buttock Defense" by an unknown artist. The armor piece is made of interwoven metal rings, resembling chain mail, and consists of two main parts: - A semi-circular top piece that would cover the upper chest and back, with a straight edge at the top and a pointed bottom. - A lower piece that is divided into two sections, each resembling a wide sleeve, and a central section connecting them, which is narrow and extends downwards. The armor is laid flat on a white surface, with a small white rectangle at the bottom center bearing the number "12". The background shows a gray floor with darker gray lines and rectangles. Small text in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
