These are two plates of gold bent downwards at the sidesand upwards at the ends in the form of saddles (pi. III., no. 8).Each of them is pierced with a single hole ; the upper surfaceis ornamented with a double row of small rings soldered tothe gold plate, and the edges are finished by a gold beading,while the under surface is quite plain. I have not receiveda satisfactory explanation of their use from any person whohas seen them, but as they fit accurately between the thumband forefinger, I am led to the opinion, unt I find a betterone, that they may have formed part of the warriors gloveor mitten, the Latin manica (^etpt?), which we are told wasused by some of the northern nations.
