A very nice article and drawing!
I have a few questions to you Graham and Raffaele, and would be very happy if you could answer them
1st. the back side of the sword belt frog looks very similar to the backside of the "button-loop" fasteners, right? Is it in one piece with the plate or connected via a hinge? Cannot see this in the pic.
2nd. Are the decorations on the plates soldered onto a flat plate, like on the plates published by Künzl, or are they a single piece of sheet metal with all the decorations embossed, and the edges rolled over the metal bars with the round heads?
3rd. Is there a publication about the textiles, as to which weave pattern they were, how thick the threads were, how spun, and what kind of dye was used, and how it was dyed (process), i.e. is there a (published) textile analysis?
Thanks! Christian
