The Pteruges are in fact glued into postion and then there is thin leather fitted over them on the inside of the cuirass, the chest decoration is made from thin brass sheet that is hand worked repousse'
These pteruges are made from three pieces of leather that has the inner core piece then a backing piece that is stitched along with the wrap around front piece, the full set that are shown with his armour were made by the same method that gives a stong set of leathers, The large pteruges as also the shoulder pieces are fixed to a thin leather under garment.
