拍品描述
Description Western Europe, Spain, pre-Spanish Colonial to early Spanish Colonial period, ca. late 16th to first half of the 17th century CE. A substantial shirt of armor known as a hauberk formed from thousands of individually attached chain links. The broad sleeves enabled arms of any size to fit through, and the open front meant it could be worn underneath or atop clothing or armor. The broad, lightweight rings did not hinder the soldier's movements when worn and was highly efficient at mitigating damage from slashing or thrusting blows. Size: 56" W x 27.5" H (142.2 cm x 69.8 cm) Chainmail like this was an invaluable component of an early Spanish Colonial soldier's armor as it was highly efficient against arrows and spears. Known as a hauberk throughout much of Europe, the chainmail shirt acted as a second skin for a soldier that moved with his movements and would not hinder one's agility. Chainmail began to slowly fall out of favor with Spanish soldiers during the mid to late 17th century since the process of creating it was arduous, transporting finished mail added unneeded weight to transportation vessels, and relocating the necessary materials was impractical. Since mail is incredibly sturdy, however, many pieces of mail armor were repurposes and reused for decades on end.
