Hauberk of Chain Mail

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Hauberk of Chain Mail by an unknown artist shows a piece of chain mail. The chain mail is made up of many small, interlocking metal rings that are woven together to form a mesh-like fabric. It is a dark gray color with a slightly textured appearance. The chain mail is shaped like a bib or a poncho. The edges are slightly frayed and uneven. A small metal clasp or buckle is on the left side, and a slit or opening runs down the center. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight gradient effect that gets darker at the top.
