Roman Leather Lamellae Scales from Karanis, Egypt
#17
Looking at the Images, the King Tut and Nuzi Finds are much different than the Karanis find. The Scales are longer, thinner, and arranged in a curved pattern, more like segments.

The Karanis find has scales that are arranged more like a Roman Scale Cuirass, with the scales forming a circle around the shape of the neck, and then going straight down from there.

It looks more like this:

But with larger scales.
