This is a chainmail piece I call a triangle scale top. A clasp around the top connects to chain triangles which expand to form the neckline. Once the expansion is complete, the chainmail connects to scalemail contractions which complete the top. The scales are two toned, with primarily silver and black trim. The two halves are connected in the middle of the chest, as well as by a chain which runs around the back. Decorative chains hang low between the two halves. This piece has two clasps, one around the neck and the other at the back. The clasp chains are intentionally made too long in order to allow for adjustments when putting on the top. The excess chain also performs a decorative function. The piece is made of bright aluminum rings with anodized aluminum scales.
