An iron and lacquer suit of armor features a dark brown mask with a prominent nose and mustache. Tiered rectangular guards laced in red, brown, and cream rest over blue textile sleeves. The dark chest plate, dotted with gold-colored studs, sits above a skirt of segmented plates. Smooth iron plates protect the forearms and lower legs, which are wrapped with light-colored cloth ties.
