Composed Armor

Wolfgang Grosschedel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver-colored knight's armor on a black stand. The armor consists of a helmet with a faceted visor, a chest plate with vertical ridges, and separate plates for the shoulders, upper arms, elbows, forearms, hands, thighs, knees, and lower legs. The torso piece covers the upper body and has a tasset on the front that covers the upper thighs. The metal appears highly polished. The stand is square based and slopes slightly outward. The armor stands on a white surface against a light grey background. The armor by Wolfgang Grosschedel is titled Composed Armor.
