constructing and mounting a porpax

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

And I don't think you will find a joint in any such rim,Paul. I mean,even if there was a joint,wasn't there a way to make it invisible back then? Personally I believe they had ways to make them without joint at all. Perhaps other images of these and other rims would support joints or not joints better,but I'll say the truth,it takes me hours to find a particular piece I have in mind each time :? I for one don't see a joint in those two rims,who oddly are identical and plain.
I know what you mean about the triangles,I thought that myslef,but I like to believe it's actually separate triangles whos point is secured by yet another ring. Even if it was not constructed this way,Kineas can do it and it will look ok.I haven't been in olympia museum for a veeeery long time,and unfortunately I don't remember most of the details I now wish i had noticed.I was too young However I have spent hours looking at photos of whatever find from that excellent museum.
