Unknownca.205 B.C. - 24 A.D.
Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King

This armor suit was made with no helmet, no sleeves and no collar. It is similar in style with the armor suits worn by the Qin cavalry in the Terracotta Army of the First Emperor of Qin. The suit was well designed for protection yet flexible enough to let the person wearing it move freely.
