Triangular leather stiffener, which is asymmetrical. The thinner end has a stitching channel with some holes running its length close to the tip, and two small sections partially parted and connected off the straight edge. The opposite end of this tip has a semi-circular notch in it. One side is brown coloured with a bit of wear across the short edge, and the other side is a darker brown with the lines of the hide visible, and some cuts, one more prominent emanating from the longest edge.
