Item details

This is a life-sized large Western armor. With a height of approximately 190 cm, it is very heavy due to its iron construction. The helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, arm guards, gauntlets, and armor from the waist to the legs are all meticulously crafted, forming a full suit of armor. Various parts are adorned with intricate vine patterns, crests, figures, and more. The shoulders, arms, gauntlets, and legs are composed of multiple riveted metal plates, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. The fingers of the gauntlets are crafted with great detail, exuding a strong sense of weight. The entire piece exhibits rust, dullness, discoloration, dirt, and wear due to its age. The decorative parts also show signs of aging, but the detailed patterns remain clearly identifiable. There are no confirmed engravings indicating the manufacturer's name, country of manufacture, or date of manufacture.
