DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Collar for wear by an harquebusier over a buff coat. Formed of a single plate front and rear.  The front plate is approximately twice as deep as the rear plate.  The sides of both plates curve down to an obtuse central point.  The neck-opening of the collar is narrow and flanged upwards at the rear.  The neck-opening is cracked at the right of centre of the front plate.  The front and rear plates were originally joined to one another at the left side by a rivet that is now missing, and fastened to one another at the right side by a mushroom-shaped stud and a keyhole-slot.  The main edges of the collar have plain inward turns, and each of its plates is decorated with a plain medial rib.  The turns and ribs are bordered by later (?) round-headed rivets of brass.  Each side of the front plate is decorated with a large, punched flowerhead within a circle.
