5 links of late Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail, dating to the late 14th century. |

| Description |
English: 5 links of late Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail, dating to the late 14th century. Four of the links have been cast as circles. There is a central link that has rivet holes at each end, which overlap to connect the links. It would appear that this mail was formed by alternating riveted and cast links to create chainmail.
A similar example can be found in the British Museum collections (1856,0701.2244), which originates from the Tower of London itself and dates to the late 14th century. This example is also formed of alternating riveted and cast links. As there are only 5 links of this piece remaining, it is impossible to compare to the complete example in the British Museum, though they are likely of a similar date. Dimensions: average diameter: 6.84 mm; average thickness: 0.44 mm; total weight: 0.38g. |
