In early English Christmas customs the boar’s head served as the centerpiece with trumpeters and pages bearing mustard, a smoking head laid on a silver platter, garlands of rosemary and laurel, and a silk banner of plenty. Queen Victoria kept the old ceremonial camton lee in schools and universities. The feast closed with the traditional Boar’s Song sung to a prose-derived tune.
