14th Century Shirt

After unattributed photo.

I am uncertain where this linen shirt was excavated.  It is based on a photo of the find in the Eyewitness Books volume Archeology.  The neck opening is reinforced with  a dark blue striped bit of silk fabric.  The shirt is made from a plain weave linen.
