http://www.newadvent.org/images/04351aax.jpg that little square thing at the top edge? What is that called?
I've been considering decorating that wide strip of cloth that works as a closure for the half round copes the priests, and everyone seemingly, wore across the high chest to keep them on as my SCA baronial champions project.
A previous baronial artisan project spun and wove cloth, and has hand sewn two baronial cloaks. They have worked out to be half round "copes". Since they need a way to be WORN, I thought making a very decoratively beaded, and therefore kickass, set of that strippy thing (whatever THAT THING is called) along with a beaded clasp, or two.
I just am drawing a blank on the nameon what those thigns are called... so I can do some design research. Each would have a theme I am thinking, like flora and Fauna, hunting, or something... Anyway I think would be a worthy project , and needed likely, and be hopefully the first of a set of projects to enhance the cloak by following champions with embroidery or ornamentation.
