hello HUH?....
....i don't know those knots but they are beautiful and
no doubt they are probably standard falconry knots??!...
....i just made a topic for falconry knots and hopefully there
might be some folks who can show how these knots
are made and used?!!...

So, I have no Falconry experience and wish I could have the knot in hand (or at least a larger pic) but it appears to be an 8 strand square sennit which ends in a 4 strand (doubled) crown knot. The center of the "button" looks very much like the "gimp" stitch.
What stymied me was the finishing knot which the advert called a sennit rose knot. Coincidentally, Brian Kidd of KHWW, posted a picture out of one of Tom Hall's books which details this knot. While it is done in 4 strands in the picture, it shouldn't be too hard to expand to 8.
I used "Complete Book of Decorative Knots" by budworth for the 8 strand braid (pg 148) and to lock in the end of the braid near the Sennit roses, I tied an 8 strand WALL knot before the Sennit Rose.
Good luck and please let us know how you make out. _________________ --

I think it is started off as 4 strand braids then four strands combined into t 8 strand square sinnet . then finnished off with "finishing of LLK" but it is finished in 1/3 way. something like that! is it correct do you guys think?
