The front of these arm guards features a striking repoussé design in the form of a flower or star, with decoratively wavy and smooth edges. Functionally, they serve to protect the sensitive armpits during arm movements. The design is based on a historical piece from the renowned Munich workshop of Ernst Schmidt, which produced high-quality reproductions of late Gothic armor using traditional armor-making techniques.
