Elements of an Armor Garniture
The image depicts a metal armor garniture comprising multiple pieces. The pieces are laid out on a flat surface, with two long, cylindrical leg coverings standing upright at the back left. Two helmet-like pieces are positioned behind and to the right; one features a scalloped edge with gold accents. The remaining pieces are arranged in front: a circular piece with a central hole on the left, two curved elbow pieces in the middle, and a face mask on the right. All pieces exhibit a silver color with etched designs and are adorned with gold accents. The background is a plain off-white wall, and the overall appearance suggests a product photograph. The pieces appear to be from the "Elements of an Armor Garniture" by an unknown artist.
