Was this cloved (Not cloven, it was in one piece, right?) orange there
as decoration? Or as a game piece? The use of a cloved orange as a
game piece in the flirting game is completely an SCA invention. Details
of it's history (and an apology from one of the original creators) can
be found in this file in the ENTRTAINMENT section of the Florilegium:
cloved-fruit-msg  (13K)  9/29/99    Period cloved fruit. Origin of the
SCA game.
