Okay, I'll confess that the topic title had me thinking of 15th century Gothic armor made of wicker! Ahem...
This passage sounds vaguely familiar, it certainly doesn't get a lot of press. I expect "crates" is the word interpreted as "wicker", comparable to the earlier Roman "cratis" which was a wicker practice shield.
Gut reaction, it could be a corrupted text. Or the author was working from a corrupted text. Dunno! Looks like one of those passages that most folks kind of shrug at, and try to ignore...

Can't use this passage without the original text. We need the surrounding paragraph, not just one sentence. Does anyone have access to it?
