Muscled Cuirasses of Boiled Leather?

[Medicus matt]

but there's still zippo to suggest a leather musculata.

There's a sculpture in the museum in Tripoli of someone (I forget who...and it was only last weekend that I saw it :oops: ) wearing a musculata. No seam on the left hand side, obvious seam/opening with a sliding pin closure under the right.

Certainly 'suggests' leather rather than bronze. I know bronze can be quite springy, but not that springy.
