Thank you very much for this reply Nadeem. If I may, three more questions:
first, if there is padding beneath the mail(le) over the face, then how could you still see through the links? Is the margin around the eyes just unpadded?
second: I acknowledge how limited the answerability of questions like mine is, but your guess is more educated than mine; what would be the experience of a rider who gets hit in the face or head with a typical arrow shot (I realize that a shot from point blank range is different from a high trajectory shot at distance. Is it likely, however, that a warrior so-armed could be hit in the face with an arrow and continue fighting, or resume fighting within the same battle?
third: how can we tell from TeB whether there is padding beneath?
Thank you, vale and bedrood
