The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a collar made of chain mail. The collar is shaped like a V and has a wide, triangular shape. It features rows of interlocking metal rings that form a mesh pattern. The rings appear to be made of a dark metal and are densely packed together. The background of the image is a light gray color with darker spots throughout. There are two small labels at the bottom of the image. One label on the left reads "www.metmuseum.org". A label on the right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The image presents the "Collar of Mail" by an unknown artist.
