breastplate
Torso protection plate
A breastplate is a piece of armor covering the chest, worn historically by soldiers and knights for protection in battle.
The term extends to similar protective gear worn by modern police or military personnel, and to the decorative chest piece worn by horses in ceremonial contexts.
In Jewish tradition, a breastplate refers to the jeweled vestment worn by the high priest, set with twelve stones representing the tribes of Israel.
