For a while now I’ve been pondering whether the Sogdians wore lamellar armour on top of their maille, or whether smaller maille pieces were used to augment their lamellar. I might have found a satisfying answer: http://www.patreon.com/eranudturan pic.twitter.com/75xkA1ym3G
This is a fragment from the “Amazons Cycle” in Panjikent. At first glance, you can see bits of maille covering the thigh, as if the bottom edge of a hauberk (maille shirt) was poking out from underneath the lamellar coat. However:pic.twitter.com/kcgKPBFTk2
Compare with the thigh armour here in a painting from Kala-i-Kahkaha, Usrushana. This seems to be a separate thigh armour made of lamellar, which provides protection to the thigh even when the long coat flaps move.pic.twitter.com/YZGyE8YYd7
It’s likely the maille on the thigh in the Amazons Cycle is just that - a separate piece for the thigh, not the lower edge of the hauberk poking out under the lamellar. This to me suggests that Sogdian maille simply augmented lamellar, rather than being another layer underneathpic.twitter.com/kSMcPaRzj6
Of course I could be wrong and I’m still not fully decided. However, augmenting plates with maille, rather than layering armour, seems to have been a common practice across historypic.twitter.com/TpZKQJ756e
There are some sets in Tibetan monasteries, but unfortunately these may be composites of different sets, perhaps from different dateshttps://twitter.com/eranudturan/status/1251776468444745728 …
