Description: 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. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | poll-plate armour Unknown | Temporal: | name=early 16th Century; start=1500; end=1500 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
