Alan,
Yes the sculpture is fantastic but i percieve it the other way to you, if you take a close look at the bottom of the danglies, i feel that the way the sculpter has portrayed the finish indicates that the tassels are an addition to the actual pteruges themselves. i am not saying that they are not linen, just that they actually resemble the finish i have on my leather pteruges when the tassels have been stictched on. also (if we consider the pteruges as defensive) the way that the pteruges hang, and the way the stitching is shown, indicate to me a more flexible defence than glued linen strips. the scalloped areas, could be either linen or leather, i would favour the latter purely for the reason of the raised edging of the scallops indicates to me worked leather. As you say we each interpret as we see.
Cheers
