DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A rear skirt, for use by a cuirassier. The broad, flaring rear skirt is formed of six upward-overlapping lames.  The second to sixth lames are each made in two halves with an overlapped and riveted medial join.  The first lame, which is deeper than the rest, is angled inwards at its upper edge.  The inward-angled section is pierced with a circular hole at its centre, and keyhole-slots to each side, that formerly permitted its attachment to the waist-flange of the backplate. The rear skirt has file-roped inward turns at the main edges, and is decorated with pairs of inicsed lines and filed with nicks, cusps and ogees at the subsidiary edges. Part of the composite three-quarter armour HEN.M.15A-F-1933.
