I have to agree with Christian. I doubt that anyone would build scale armor just for show. I guess that in the absurd one could consider doing so but in reality the amount of work to produce a squamata would make it unlikely.
I built my own squamata, totally by hand including making the scales, fire tinning them and punching out the holes. Then I linked them to each other and sewed them on a linen backing. I did not use any machines but tried as best I can to simulate all manual labor. It is a daunting task........so......I tell anyone, if you would like to figure it out for yourself if scale armor was made for battle or ceremonies, try making one.
I too thought at first ceremonial amor until I made my own.
I understand Damian that you read it was for ceremonies but for your own personal growth, attempt making a small piece and you will see.
Cheers
