IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 18056 accession number: HEN.M.20E-1933 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Friday 8 January 2016 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Pauldron, for the left shoulder, for field use, composed of elements of a similar period and fashion. Formed of eight medially-ridged lames that overlap outwards from the third which is shaped to the point of the shoulder. The first to fifth lames extend inwards over the chest in a strongly concave curve. The first to third lames extend inwards over the back. The third lame is expanded downward to the level of the bottom of the fourth lame at the rear. The expanded portion has a strongly rounded lower inner corner and is flanged at its outer edge where it overlaps the lame beneath it. The front ends of the first and fourth lames are broken away. The lames are connected to one another by modern brass-capped, round-headed sliding-rivets with octagonal internal washers at their rear ends, and by modern internal leathers at their front ends and centres. A further leather at one time connected the first to fourth lames to one another a short distance behind the central leather. The edges of the pauldron retain extensive fragments of a modern leather lining-band. The first lame is pierced with a large hole at its apex to permit its suspension from a hinged stud issuing from the side of the collar. A modern strap and a modern single-ended, tongued iron buckle to fasten the pauldron around the upper arm are respectively riveted within the rear and front ends of the eighth lame. The main edges of the pauldron have file-roped inward turns, except at the fronts of the second to eight lames and the rears of the fourth to eighth lames where they have plain inward partial turns.
