Quote:Are those pteryges made of some kind of metal (since helmet and armor is made of the same color as well), or are the helmet and armor made of leather (since they share color with pteryges)?
Quote:The Pteryges could be gilded leather...

In my opinion it isn't far-fetched to consider the "roundish" pteryges as being made of metal. Roman muscle cuirass statues seem to have pin and barrel hinges between the bottom edge of the cuirass and the two upper pteryx layers. The hinges indicate a rigid material. According to archaeological evidence, the rigid material was (gilded) bronze (e.g. Cueva del Jarro, Kemnitz grave 622). The Kerch matrix is another indicator for musle cuirass pteryges beeing made of metal.
