Well the statues are same time same place. One was clearly painted to show a bronze cuirass and the other to show some non-metalic armor.
I have not seen evidence for muscled shaped linothorax yet.
The same color of the cuirass appears in a later sarkofagos shwoing horsemen wearing boots in the same buff color.
My mistake was not taking enough photos even of the cell phone's louzy quality .
If more and more collections become phasmatoscopicaly reconstructed we might draw safer conclusions. So far I am inclined to believe in absence of better evidence that the non metallic material can be hide or skin armor.
Any one knows any net links with more reconstructed collections?
Kind regards
