A sleeveless corselet made of many small metal scales in overlapping rows, shown on a plain torso stand with a high neck. A band of larger plates runs around the neck and another strip crosses the waist, with short scaled sleeves at the shoulders. Below the waist hangs a skirt of long, plain strips, and two small ties or hooks are visible at the front.
