Fur and leather apron found in a Sarmatian grave (about 2' long) from the 3rd to 4th century, currently in the State Hermitage Museum. I'm not sure about the length measurement -- would a 2' apron be enough to protect one's clothing? Was it for a child, perhaps? Or, being of fur and leather, was it more to add another temporary layer of insulation?
