You can also see it at the wrist and I think (I may be wrong here) at the bicep. Mathew Paris's Drawing of a Praying Crusader (1250) has them.

I've seen ties at the wrists and elbow too, over the years, but I haven't a clue what source they were from. I know it was period drawings, though. Just a simple brown line. I think one of them showed the lacing at the wrist with mufflers slit in the palm, too.
