A flared, rectangular armor fragment features seven dark-lacquered iron plates linked by delicate chainmail over navy silk. Its rounded crown displays a tan honeycomb pattern punctuated with small black circles. To the lower right, a muted green leather patch provides a flat contrast to the curved metallic ribs. Frayed tan trim borders the piece, blending rugged defensive utility with fine artisanal detail in an earthy, aged palette.
