Hello folks
This thread got me wondering about a few other things that we see on the subligar.
Some pictures are shown with very straight apron like attachments hanging down the front, once or twice from the back. Any thoughts on if this was a decorative attachment rather than integral to the subligar and whether it held any significance, I realise that its all conjecture, but it would be interesting to hear what you think?
Also, I have seen a number of reenactments where bells have been attached to the subligar and round knees. I can see decorations on the stele etc ... but do we have any direct evidence for bells? I think the addition would be great to kit, but am unable to find anything concrete showing them. Any thoughts?
Looking forward to any thoughts you might have.
All the best
Graham
