pauldron
Knight's shoulder plate
A pauldron is a piece of plate armor covering the shoulder, connecting the breastplate to the arm defenses.
Pauldrons appeared in medieval and Renaissance armor, often elaborately decorated on ceremonial suits.
The term now appears mostly in historical contexts, fantasy games, and costume design: The knight's pauldrons were dented from battle.
