Hunnic Hanging Lamellar
#1
Enough said.

1. Village Bolshije (Big) Elbany, Upper Ob (river in Siberia near the Altai Mountains) III-IV Century AD. Depending on when it dates to, either Hun (pre-360 AD) or Tiele (post-360 AD), but for all intents and purposes and cutting out a TON of central asian history, the Tiele were Huns. So Hun.

2. Western Kazakhstan, III-IV Century AD. Most likely Hunnic (maybe Kushan or Kangju but Iranic cultures don't adopt Hanging Lamellar until the 6th century otherwise, so probably Kara Huna or Kidarite Hun).

Plates 3-12 are all irrelevant, dating past the 8th century AD.

I love things I can completely and utterly flip out about. This is one of them.

If I get money for armor, by some miracle, I am totally having a set of Hunnic lamellar made.
