Left Thigh Defense (Cuisse) with Knee Defense (Poleyn)
Metal armor piece, shaped like a thigh and knee protector. The piece is long and curved, resembling a funnel. It has a ribbed design with vertical lines running along its length. The surface appears weathered and worn, showing signs of aging. A smaller, more rounded piece is attached at the bottom, covering the knee. This smaller piece has a similar ribbed design but with a more rounded shape. The background is a plain gray wall, with the armor piece sitting on a white surface. The overall appearance suggests a historical or medieval-style armor. The metal is likely steel or iron. The piece is likely from the Left Thigh Defense and Knee Defense set by an unknown artist.
