Armor with Equestrian Equipment
The armor with equestrian equipment by The Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts a man on a horse. The man wears a helmet and full body armor. The armor and helmet are silver with gold accents. The man also wears black gloves. The horse faces left; it wears a dark face harness with gold accents and a red tassel hanging from its face harness below its mouth. A saddle and saddle blanket with a similar pattern and color scheme to the armor are on the horse's back. A plume on a long stem rises from the top of the helmet. The background is gray.
