Shirt (front)

This is the front of a brown woollen cloth shirt, discovered on a man's body found at Gunnister in Northmavine in Shetland in the late 17th century. When he died, the man was wearing a coat, jacket, shirt, breeches, cap and stockings.

The full-length shirt fastens from the waist up with ten buttons.

Some of the possessions found with the man's body were a quill and writing board for writing and a horn, possibly for ink. He was also carrying a knitted woollen purse and a silk ribbon.
