Good hypothesis, Travis!
But don't forget that each one of the two layers is composed out of up to three superimposed layers (I doubt that they were staggered, anyway...)
About your second pic, sculptors were able to polish marble to mirror-finish and they've left pterugae rough... :? Maybe they were made of felt or cloth after all... In case they were made of felt, a sandwiched layer of cloth would be necessary yet (Like in leather pterugae) for making the fringes...

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
