Hi filip, welcome aboard. I have some photos I found in the internet about Golden Horde armor displayed in some Russian museums. |

Thank you very much! Do we have any idea of century for these armours? Also, is there a proper name for such an armour?

You are welcome. The only thing I know is that they date from the 13th-14th centuries; unfortunately I don't have specific years. Quyagh (modern Khuyag) was the Mongol name for "armor"; Turkic peoples called "Armor" Yarïq (alternatively written Yarık).

Thank you again for the information. I will continue my research using those names. I am curious to learn if this armour would have been adopted by Rus peoples following contact with the Mongols. Certainly, the influence is seen spreading across Europe a couple centuries later.

I am not so that well knowledged about the subject, but I think Turko-Mongol influences in Russian weaponry increased in the 14th-15th centuries (though there had always been a Turkic influence since the Cumans and etc).

You could also research "lamellar armor", which is the English name for the type of armor that was favored by steppe people (and many nations at that time)
