Contact the institution

Multi-layered armlet, laced on the inside, made of fine blue fabric embroidered with gold and iron chain mail sewn over it on the outside. The filigree chain mail is unriveted and contains iron plates worked in regularly and in exposed areas. The front sides of the iron leaves contain partially applied floral appliqués. The armlet ends in a correspondingly shaped knuckle guard. Provenance: Japan. The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
