This piece of armor, known as a "Right Thigh and Knee Defense", was crafted by Wolfgang Grosschedel, a prominent German armorer, sometime between 1530 and 1585. The defense, made of steel, features a series of overlapping plates, intricately engraved with a leafy pattern, intended to protect the wearer's right thigh and knee from blows during combat. The defense is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
