Intricate chainmail mesh overlays a tan fabric foundation on this vertical armored sleeve. Dark brown iron plates punctuate the surface: small rectangles at the top, a central flower-shaped guard for the elbow, and long vertical bars reinforcing the forearm. Bright teal cords wrap around the upper border and wrist. At the base, a contoured iron plate protects the back of the hand, while the mesh transitions into a separate guard for the thumb.
