A set of replica ancient armor and weapons resting on sand with rocks in the background. The gear includes a short bronze-colored sword, a round black shield with gold studs, a crested helmet decorated with red and blue plumes and white horns, and a section of lamellar armor made of overlapping metal plates edged in red leather. A person in a red tunic stands barefoot on a rocky beach, holding a decorated helmet with blue and red plumes under one arm and a short sword at their hip. They wear white greaves with bronze-colored plates, while the sea and a seagull flying overhead appear in the background. A person in a red tunic stands on the beach by the water, adjusting the chin strap of a horned, crested helmet. A short sword hangs at their side, and a black shield with gold studs lies in the sand nearby. Gentle waves and footprints in the sand are visible in the background.
