Pair of Thigh Defenses (Cuisses) with knee defenses (Poleyns)

Two metal thigh defenses, also known as cuisses, are shown side by side. They are made of metal and have a ribbed, elongated oval shape. The cuisses are oriented with the wider end at the top, tapering to a narrower end at the bottom. Each piece has a strap or band around the middle. Attached to the bottom of each piece are knee defenses, also known as poleyns, which are shaped like a rounded triangle with the base of the triangle attached to the cuisse. The metal has visible signs of wear and aging, with dark spots and discoloration throughout. The background is a plain wall with a lighter-colored floor.
