Maraskanischer Holzharnisch ~ Maraskanian Wood Cuirass

Consists of overlapping plates and lamellars of a very light-weight hard wood; moisture-sensitive, and because of this (and to repel the multitude of Maraskanian poisonous critters) often brightly enameled; usually covers the upper body and also has protection for shoulders, upper arms, and thighs, of similar make; needs to be maintained regularly, lest it starts to decay, losing its stability.
