EN: Impressive bishops mantle featuring leather straps and buckles.
ES: Impresionante manto de obispo con detalles de correas y hebillas de cuero.
A bishops mantle is a chain mail collar covering the neck, the shoulders and the upper part of the chest and back. It wasparticularly favoured by the German Landknechte mercenary soldiers in the 15th and 16th centuries and is woven similarly to amail coif.
The shape of this piece of chain armour explains its name, as it greatly resembled the very wide-cut collar of a bishopsmantle. Our bishops mantles are modeled on historical examples. They feature a jagged edge. A riveted leather linerprotects the area around the neck and the neckline is adjustable by means of straps and genuine late medieval brass buckles.
