Actually, 'derma' can also mean leather, at least that is what my dictionary (Gemoll) says.
While working on a new catalogue for the Pergamon-Museum Berlin, I came across this vase:
Although it has been published back in the 19th century, noone has identified that kind of cuirass. What do you think, could it be a spolas? Please keep in mind that a warrior's eidolon is depicted, i.e. he has died in that armour and nothing is missing.
