Armor for the Joust of Peace

The photograph shows a mannequin wearing a large suit of armor displayed on a raised platform. The mannequin wears silver-colored metal armor on its head, neck, shoulders, and upper torso. A long, thick wooden lance extends upwards and out of frame from the top of the metal helmet. A long red and gold brocade fabric covers the lower part of the mannequin. The mannequin stands in a large room with a high, vaulted ceiling featuring decorative molding. A glass display case surrounds the base of the mannequin, and three white signs are mounted on a railing in front of it. A large abstract painting with pink flowers hangs on a beige wall to the left. The room has a stone floor and several columns and archways in the background. Natural light enters through a small window high on the wall. The image is titled "Armor for the Joust of Peace" by Daniel Tachaux.
