Hello all!
While perusing the web for interesting images of medieval art, I ran across this fascinating Hungarian effigy. I've seen breastplates with separate plackarts, and anime breastplates, but this is something a bit different. It appears to be a combination of the two. It's appears to be made of separate pieces that come to a point in front like the typical plackart of the 15th century. I have seen multiple plackarts on some "Gothic armour", but I just thought I would share this interesting find, since it seems to take that concept to the extreme.
Here's the information about the effigy:

Stay safe!
