DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: Poll-plate of a shaffron for field use. Formed of a single plate strongly curved transversely and slightly curved longitudinally.  It has a nearly straight front edge and a slightly curved rear edge.  Its front corners are strongly cut out in concave curves to clear the horse's ears.  The rear edge and the cut-outs have plain outward turns.  Three externally flush rivets at the front edge retain a modern buff leather hinge to attach the poll-plate to the shaffron.  The remaining edges of the poll-plate are pierced with holes for lining-rivets.
