"Bronze scale armour sewn onto chainmail !"
....what the...???
hock: hock: Surely some mistake?
A new "Scythian Armour" thread in the Greek section will be the way to go. The photos of the Met Leather corselet ( minus it's Yoke) are on the last page of the 'Linthorax construction' thread.
The colour picture is here:

Are the scale and leather pieces the fragmented ones from 5cent cuirass found in the Sem'Bratiev barrow?
The Scythian Queen in the photo is obviously based on that found in theTolstaya Mogila Royal Barrow, but the male does not appear to be based on the 'King's' equipment, rather a 'composite' of many, including the Solokha comb... be nice to see more of these on the new thread....and he's definitely not wearing the 'Met' Leather armour.....
