An aventail (/ ˈ æ v ən t eɪ l /) [1] or camail (/ k ə ˈ m eɪ l, ˈ k æ m eɪ l /) [2] [3] is a flexible curtain of mail attached to the skull of a helmet that extends to cover at least the neck, but often also the throat and shoulders. Part or all of the face, with spaces to allow vision, could also be covered.
The rivet would extend out from the surface of the helmet and that extension contained a hole. A leather cord or metal wire would be strung through the vervelles in order to secure the strip of leather or metal (to which the maille aventail was attached) to the helmet.
4-1 link pattern. The most common pattern of linking the rings together is the 4-to-1 pattern, where each ring is linked with four others. Historically, the rings composing a piece of mail would be riveted closed to reduce the chance of the rings splitting open when subjected to an attack.
The aventail extends downward to protect the face and the neck. Sometimes an aventail was fixed using a lead seal stamped with a mark typical of Ottoman arsenals. [ 5 ] An adjustable nasal bar to protect the nose was fastened with a bracket to the front side of the helmet, between the eye-openings.
A mail collar hanging from a helmet is a camail or aventail. A shirt made from mail is a hauberk if knee-length and a haubergeon if mid-thigh length. A layer (or multiple layers) of mail sandwiched between layers of fabric is called a jazerant.
