Two tents similar to the Saxon Getald, showing the distinctive roof
line, triangular shape and bottom edge pegging (the left geteld shows nine
pegs while the geteld on the right shows twelve pegs, one peg at the base
of each of the panel joins visible). The tents appear to be made of nine
and eleven coloured panels. The ridge sleeve is decorated with acanthus
scroll work. |
