"Women as well as men were recruited to restrain combatants,
sometimes dampening their weapons by throwing clothing over them.
Peacemaking of this sort required strength and courage more than
negotiating skills...The clothing was more sign than substance, like
the bell signalling the end of a round, and it seems that the sign
was not without significant cultual force." - Bloodtaking and
Peacemaking by William Ian Miller
