"Left Greave and Sabaton" is a piece of 16th-century armor created by German artist Wolfgang Grosschedel. The intricate detail of the piece, made of steel and gold, depicts the greave and sabaton, which would have been worn by a knight on his left leg. The design features a combination of etched and engraved patterns, with the addition of decorative studs. This piece is a testament to the artistry of armor creation during the Renaissance, and provides an insight into the protective and stylish elements of medieval knightly attire. It is currently held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
