Yes, the first statuette was described as being late archaic, and as the period that interests me is the persian wars, it would not be completely out of place. Youre right the second does seem to flare out more than the first, but not to the extent of the previous pic id posted. bell cuirasses were flared to allow for better movement, why were muscled cuirasses not? At least ive never seen a flared muscled cuirass, not to the extent of bell cuirasses anyway.
