"Waist Lame" is a 16th-century piece of armor made by the German goldsmith Wolfgang Grosschedel. This silver lame is decorated with engraved floral motifs, a popular decorative style during the Renaissance period. The lame was likely used as a protective piece of armor that would be worn around the waist. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
