Medieval Chain Mail Specimen
This authentic, four-in-one medieval chain mail set includes five (5) connected rings, as assembled hundreds of years ago by medieval craft workers. This relatively simple pattern was the standard in Europe for hundreds of years. The set is enclosed in a specimen jar with a removable top which arrives in a handsome, glass-topped riker box case measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small informational card is also included. The rings come from the fragments of several ruined garments, all dating to the 15th Century (CE). This period is considered the sunset of chain mail in Europe, as advanced plate armor completely supplanted mail. As you might expect, each garment has a unique braid and all the rings were forged and assembled by hand. So there will be variations in size, color, and texture.
