The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a suit of armor for a man and horse. The horse faces left; its head is angled slightly toward the viewer. It has a long, dark tail. The horse's armor covers its neck and chest and has a circular emblem on its left side. The horse's armor also covers its hindquarters. The man sits on the horse, wearing a full suit of armor. His helmet has a small, pointed top. His body armor covers his torso, arms, and legs. He sits atop the horse with his right leg raised, resting on a stirrup. The background is light gray, and the floor is white.
