Right Thigh Defense (Cuisse) with Knee Defense (Poleyn)
Metal armor piece, likely made of steel, with a silver-gray color. The top portion is a long, curved shape resembling a truncated cone, with rounded top edge and ridged, fluted design. The lower part is more rounded, fan-shaped, and appears to be a knee defense. Two parts are connected by metal bands and rivets. The surface shows signs of wear and aging, with darker spots and discoloration. The background is light-colored, with a shadow cast to the left.
