Leather Cuirass

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

You see Dan,I only came to this "conclusion" because everything else that I've seen that to Wolgang and others seems more like an overgarment,to me seems more like a chiton.Now,I'd love to have any text explaining how a chiton would look like in vases,but I haven't.Nor do I have(you or anybody may have) text describing a thick shirt that looks like these vases.So,what do I have?The same characteristics of chitons on vases and sculptures,with those strange paintings,and it happened to have at least two pictures of something that is for sure a thicker piece of clothe,depicted in a much different way by two artists.Isn't that importand enough to post it in a forum(where it should be discussed)?
As for quilting etc,it isn't the appropriate thread,but let me say that you've very kindly shared much of you knowledge about quilting with all of us,and we've discussed a lot on many artistic scenes and texts,and still a considerable number of RATers still believe in both quilting and glueing.Do you really believe so many of us are just brainwashed by Connolly's first interpretation?May i say that at the moment I'm not taking a thesis on this matter,just thinking about how the "evidence" should be used.
