Description
-
A Renaissance cuirass fashioned in the shape of articulated musculature, aligning the piece with armor all'antica . The black metal of the cuirass is decorated with a number of gold ornaments which surround the upper chest. A female face frozen in anguish sits at the center of the chest, golden tendrils expanding from it and circling the faux nipples. The shoulder pieces are fashioned into male faces, from whose mouth descends rectangular hanging attachments. Continuing from these shoulder pieces are fabric sleeves.
