An absolute gem of a find.
Do we know roughly what the ring diameter and thickness of the rings were?
I am curious if we might know the length of the shirt and the length of the sleeves.
5.44 kg is roughly 12 pounds. Now while that might not be interesting in itself, what I find very interesting is that the two 6mm Roman pattern maille shirts that I own each come out weighing 12 pounds.
By what I can tell, it appears that the shirt is a bit later in that it does not appear to have a doubler. Do we know/or have a suspected date of when the find took place?
This shirt would make in amazing article in AW.
Thanks for posting this.
