Pair of Thigh and Knee Defenses
Two metal thigh and knee defenses, titled "Pair of Thigh and Knee Defenses" by an unidentified artist, presented in a grayscale image. The defenses are made of metal, exhibiting a ribbed design with vertical lines. They are shaped to cover the thigh and knee areas, with a curved top portion and a more cylindrical bottom section. Each piece features a strap and rivets around the middle, and a small, wing-like protrusion on either side near the bottom. The metal appears weathered, with visible signs of wear and tear. The defenses are positioned upright, side by side, on a flat surface against a plain background.
