constructing and mounting a porpax
#59
Thanks for the photos Giannis !! (which I think you have put up on other threads)

However, they appear to pose more questions than answers....

The latter rims (in the shot of the two warriors) are obviously 'solid', but the photos aren't clear enough to see if there is a joint or not.

The first one, with the triangles, doesn't appear to be 'dagged' triangles, but rather a solid rim like the others but with decorative triangles cut out .

Is this so? Have you seen these examples in the museum yourself?
