Annotation
The Tlingit armors consisted of two parts different in size. The bigger part protected the back, and the smaller – the chest. Armors were made of thin wooden laths braided round with tendons. On both sides of an armor a free space was left where the drawing of its owner’s clan emblem was placed.
