Gorget late 16th
Two pieces front and back. Single neck lame front and back. Neck plates seem to be associated. The main plates formerly part of a pair of munions, shoulders lost. The main plates originally rough from the hammer and black, since cleaned. The neck lames polished smooth and bright. Integral hinge on the left and stepped pin closure on the right. The outward turned plain roll at the top of the neck lames is another example of the "jelly roll" construction where the material is rolled over itself.
