Description
PAIR OF REINFORCED CHAINMAIL BOOTS Made of sheepskin, fastened with brass lacing eyelets (traces of red colour remaining). Stitched leather sole. Mesh pattern alternating between flat and round links. An unusual and uncommon design for which several hypotheses are plausible, including use by light cavalry such as hussars in the French army from the 17th to the 18th century; may have been produced at a later date.
