In medieval weaponry, the breastplate is the front portion of plate armour covering the trunk of the body. It has been a military mainstay since ancient times and was usually made of leather, bronze or iron in antiquity. The breastplate was fastened to the body through leather belts that cross themselves on the back.
This handcrafted Steel Ornate Engraved Breastplate by Marto of Toledo, is a one piece solid construction of armour that covers the entire front of the torso. This particular breastplate, is enriched by engraved decorations, depicting a floral and mythological design, making this item primarily decorative, rather than an accurate historical representation of what a soldier would have worn in that era.
This item will give an elaborately decorative touch of history to any costume or display.
