Breastplate with figurative representations, bronze, chased, bronze, Total: Height: 45,50 cm, protective clothing, weapons , sphinx, snakes, Greek antiquity, The breastplate is decorated with figurative representations in flat relief and fine chasing. Sea snakes circle around the chest muscles, on them are heraldic lions. Griffins and warriors on the ribcage, indicated in the so-called knee diagram, complete the rich decoration.
