I would like to share with the community a pair of greaves I have just finished. They are based on 4thC BC Greek artifacts, but are made from commercial bronze as an accessible alternative to a true tin bronze. I recreated the form, musculature and moulded edge of the originals, but made the greaves specifically to fit casts of my customer's legs. I hope you like them!




More information and photographs are available on this Etsy listing.

Absolutely Beautiful! Jeffrey!!!

Wonderful greaves indeed, Jeffrey!

Great work as usual!

Really beautiful!

Stunning, one of the best examples of reconstructed greaves that I've seen! :-)

Beautiful work!

Thank you all for your compliments! Making fully-enclosed greaves is a satisfying challenge, and I am glad you like the results. While researching this pair, I became interested in several other types from different contexts that I hope I will get a chance to recreate at some point.
