From the taces are hung Tassets, ending in a point towards the lower edge. |
The taces also are short, with a deep skirt of mail below them. |
In most of the examples which we give of this period, the taces have a mail skirt or fringe attached to the lowest plate. |

The taces are hinged at the side for convenience in putting on and off. |
The tastefully-decorated breastplate has laminated gussets, and taces to which are attached the conspicuous lamboys. |
