Paul B,
Yes the picture I had in my mind was NoT , a " Tube and Yoke " Amour done in Bronze, :roll: But rather as the Iron One found in Tomb II Vergina , a Mimic , as You say something like a Fashion Statement or Reflective Piece.
As far as Rawhide , I have worked on Edo period Rawhide Amour . I was surprised at the time of its qualities .. So its use and Spring like qualities .. also its ability to hold a shape or keep a material like Enamel or Other Color on its surface .. made me think of it on this subject .. especially since it must be protected from the elements ! I had read Connolly , when younger and never questioned much at the time , its good to see some real brain cells being killed off on such subjects :wink:
By the way I have enjoyed your Posts too Sir on the subject
