IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 17713 accession number: HEN.M.2D-1933 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 14 September 2022 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Pair of tassets for light field use, decorated with bands in the 'black and white' fashion. Each is of nearly rectangular outline and formed of six upward overlapping lames that widen very slightly to their lower end. The first and sixth lames are slightly longer than the rest. The lateral and lower edges of each tasset have plain, inward turns. The lames are connected to one another by modern round-headed rivets at their inner and outer ends, and by a modern internal leather at their centres. The leather was originally secured by pairs of rivets, but is now secured by single rivets, except in the case of the sixth lame of the right tasset where a pair of rivets are still employed. Secured by single, modern, round-headed rivets at the upper edge of each tasset are three modern, double-ended, tongued iron suspension-buckles.
