Breastplate with Tassets
Silver-colored metal armor, titled "Breastplate with Tassets", made by an unknown artist. The armor consists of a breastplate and tassets, which are attached to a black mannequin. The breastplate covers the torso, with a curved top edge and straight bottom edge. Two rounded shoulder openings are on either side. The tassets are segmented, covering the upper thighs, each with a row of rivets along the top and bottom edges. The mannequin has no head or arms. It stands on a circular beige base. The background is gray, darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.
