I have to agree with Evan. Its the sleeves.
I am not sure why people are so stuck on these vambraces.......no offence Jesse since you are not the first.
We have been able to debunk time and again their use since there really is no evidence either sculptural or otherwise. I guess Hollywood has made them historical fact.
I am not discounting that there were soldiers that could have worn something on their wrists BUT to make an object part of an impression specifically is not sound.
Then why leather.....? Outside of some sort of bracelet, anything on the wrist would be cloth to wipe sweat not some leather strap. If you want fashion...armilla come to mind.
