Ave,
Unlike Hollywood Movies, the overwhelming vast majority of the time that Tongue Pteruges are seen in ancient sculpture, they are shown as being cut from one single piece of material… nearly never as separate individual pieces.
I struggled quite a bit with this but in the end, this is how I resolved to make them one piece.
I still have to sew them onto my subarmalis and add my appliqués but, I think I was able to match up the one piece look.
The statues also do not show a Tongue Pteruges seam at the sides so, I added more templates, and cut the leather as one very long belt that will wrap around my waist and when I sew it to my Sub Armor, the seam will be at the back.
I am going to add a second layer of Tongue Pteruges with scorpions. I have animal heads for the top row.
