Actually I support the possibility of it being a quilted armour and believe that to nay say an armour when we enjoy the hobby of experimental archaeology is just being a spoiler of fun and blocker of potential findings.
Magnus, The pattern instantly remided me to what Richard Humble said was a skythian quilted armour but which Duncan Head has on p46 of his Achaemenid Persian Army as "Gold Plaque from the Oxus treasure; a Saka warrior in a typical coat". I.e That style of quiting seems to have been known in various parts of antiquity.
