Where are those pieces currently exhibited? Where were they found? They look to me more like muscled cuirasses that were shown "distorted" by artists to be able to accommodate fuller body movement in art. You can see it in other contemporary Hellenistic sculpture, including, for instance, the amazonomachy frieze from the Artemision at Magnesia on the Maeander.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
