Hauberk

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Hauberk by an unknown artist is a chainmail shirt. The shirt is made up of interlocking metal rings that are densely packed together. The rings are small and appear to be made of metal, possibly steel or iron, and are arranged in a pattern of rows that run horizontally and vertically. The shirt has short sleeves and a high neckline with a small opening at the top. The sleeves are slightly flared at the ends and have a jagged edge. The bottom of the shirt is also slightly frayed. The shirt is a dark gray color with a slight sheen to it, suggesting that it is made of metal. The background of the image is a gradient that goes from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
