Chain mail is made by creating a weave of dozens of interlocking ringlets of iron or steel that, as a whole, are stronger than simply the sum of their composite; this Chain Mail Coif (hood) by Marto is a piece of head-protection that saw widespread use. A coif was originally combined with the hauberk (which protects the body as well), but over time, the two were separated into different pieces. Consisting of a several small linked rings, this coif leaves only the face bare, with the lower edge falling over the shoulders. A typical coif is often worn under a cask or a helm, as a piece of secondary protection.
