Toe Cap and Lames for a Right Foot Defense (Sabaton)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metallic gray-colored toe cap and lames, made of metal, for a right foot defense, also known as a sabaton. The toe cap is positioned at an angle, with the front facing the bottom-right corner of the image. It has a curved, rectangular shape with rounded edges and a flat bottom. The surface features a grid-like pattern of raised lines, forming 17 rectangular sections, with three rivet holes on the left side. The metal has a weathered appearance with visible rust or tarnish spots. The background is a solid gray color. The toe cap and lames are attributed to Toledo.
