Description

The chainmail is made of iron wires interlinked in a chain-like weave. Although it originally had an orange-yellow or yellow colour, a reddish tint appeared on the metal surface over time. The chainmail is woven from small metal rings. Each ring is connected to another, forming a mesh structure. This construction protected the body from serious injuries while allowing freedom of movement. The weight of the chainmail is approximately 5-10 kilograms. It has undergone oxidation.
