HOUNDS AND HUNTING 65 



and tied under the chin ; they were probably of leather, not of 

 cloth, as suggested by Sir Henry Dryden. Their long loose 

 robes seem unsuitable for active work, but they were perhaps 

 more closely girt for action than artists cared, with an eye for 

 flowing lines, to represent them. The foremost, with horse, 

 represents the huntsman, and his attendants carry respectively 

 a boar-spear and a long-bow. 



The two figures of the fourteenth century (p. 238) are taken 

 from the representation in Stothard's Monumental Effigies 

 of the highly interesting wall-painting, now almost obliterated, 

 at the back of the canopied recess over Sir Oliver Ingham's 

 tomb at Ingham church, Norfolk. He died in 1344. Both 

 figures wear cowls, or caps and short capes in one. In 

 shape they resemble the camail in armour of that period ; and 

 they were probably of cloth, as they were coloured green in the 

 painting. The short jupon of the figures on the left, also 

 coloured green, is open at the sides to the hips, where a few 

 buttons close the upper part of the slit. The legs were grey in 

 the painting, and were probably worsted trunk-hose. The 

 brass-studded bawdrick was of red leather. Four arrows show 

 from a quiver worn at the back, and the long-bow is held in 

 the left hand. The attachments of the horn to the bawdrick 

 and of the quiver to the body is not shown, and had probably 

 disappeared when the drawing was made. The figure on the 

 right, in the act of stringing his bow, is attired after much the 

 same fashion, but he wears a longer coat buttoned down the 

 breast, also painted green, and round the waist is a brown 

 leather quiver belt. 



The fourteenth-century figures on page 55 are taken from 

 an illustration in the Phillipps MSS. copy of Gaston de Foix, 

 and show a considerable similarity between the hunting cos- 

 tume of England and France. Figure i in this picture, having 

 unharboured a buck, has coiled the lymer's cord round his arm ; 

 a white leather scrip or bag is attached to a black belt ; the coat 

 is green, and the camail and stockings red. Figure 2 is a 

 berner, dressed much the same as the harbourer, but having 

 wide sleeves to his coat. Figure 3 represents a berner or har- 

 bourer on his walks in the wood with lymer and cord ; his coat 

 is green, and his red cowl has a dagged ornamental appen- 

 dage.
