OK,i found the image. See the hinges? When i saw the photo I was excited because I thought I found one detachable porpax. When I went in Vergina and looked closely I was excited in a different way,because i was clear that the hinges were placed in the incide of the porpax and were used to attach and detach the lining. But i have to say this is a unique find. Another shield found in the same tomb had the typically detachable porpax lining,and actually portion of the lining still in place.
