The image shows a curved piece of armor made of metal. The top portion consists of overlapping, scalloped metal plates, while the bottom features a mesh of interlocking metal rings. A smaller, detached piece of armor with a similar design is positioned on the right side. The background is gray with a subtle shadow beneath the armor. The armor piece is titled "Shaffron and Crinet (Horse's Head and Neck Defenses)" and is attributed to the artist Romain des Ursins.
