Historique d'archive
MERL 'Catalogue index' card – 'A horse develops draught-power by pushing against its collar. The collar is linked to the traces or shafts by the HAMES and TUGS (hooks). Hames were formerly made of wood, but more recently of brass and iron. They fit into a groove in the collar and have to be removed in order to put the collar over the horse's head. // These carved wooden hames are 18th century work and came from Micklern’s Farm, Knowl Hill (Berks). They show traces of red, blue and green paint. The hames measure 27 inches in length.'
