IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 18083 accession number: HEN.M.22B-1933 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 13 March 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A collar, for a pikeman, decorated with embossed and engraved bands and chevrons. The collar is formed of a single plate front and rear, each flanged upwards at the neck-opening. The rear plate has a nearly straight lower edge that descends to a very obtuse point at its centre, while the deeper front plate descends to a fairly acute point at its centre, and obtuse points at each side. The two plates are connected to one another at the left shoulder by a modern round-headed rivet, and were originally fastened to one another at the right shoulder by a mushroom-shaped stud and a keyhole-slot. Since the stud is broken off, the plates have been rigidly riveted to one another by a modern round-headed rivet. The left end of the front plate is damaged by corrosion. The main edges of the armour have plain inward turns. The armour is decorated with multiple bands and borders of 'terraced' form that project inwards at intervals as chevrons. The bands are emphasised by single and pairs of incised lines. The armour is decorated with borders and lines of brass-capped rivets, most of which serve as lining-rivets.
