A decorative cast-metal breastplate with an eagle in relief. This is a costume/decorative
piece, not intended for any combat activities. This was most likely once upon a time to have
been part of a crossed-swords wall panoply display. I added the straps a couple of years ago
to use this breastplate as costume armor on Halloween. Sized to fit a warrior in the size L
to XL range - definetly not XXL, which is why my charming assistant and not I is pictured
wearing the breastplate. Interior marked "HQ 350 Japan" - yeah, that's it, this is SAMURAI
ARMOR! (not really - not that I needed to tell you "not really"). This is a post-WWII
Japanese copy of a Victorian impression of a late 17th century breastplate in the style of a
classical Roman breastplate.
