Angus McBride color plate : can you identify this ?
#8
Quote:awesome book to have Wink i've got the kit in the works

The helmet is all wrong, with McBride oddly persisting in the 'circular earcaps' that in the past were wrongly drawn on an earlier Osprey reconstruction of the Intercisa helmet.

The place of the knife.. I'd call that extremly dangerous to the wearer's private parts! Big Grin And also, to suspend a sharp knife just from one ring would mean the thing is constantly danglin' about...

The belt - I know the suspension ring on the upper size of the belt, attached to a suspension belt, certainly provides some balance. I also know that this is how the Dorchester-on-Thames belt was reconstructed, but I've never seen any artistic or other evidence that supports this solution.
