Armpit Defense

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black chainmail shirt, titled "Armpit Defense", by an unknown artist. The shirt is made of small interlocking metal rings, forming a mesh pattern. It has a square neckline and short sleeves. The chainmail material appears to be made of small, dark-colored metal rings that are densely packed together. The shirt is laid flat, with the front side facing up, and the sleeves are spread out to the sides. The background is a light gray color with a textured surface.
