Hoplite Shield Designs

[hoplite14gr]

White serpet in black background if you were born into the Spartoi clan.
Red serpet in white background if you were married into the clan.
These guys were Acheans probably and had triangles on the rim.

I do not endorse the mix of the "high class" serpet with the "commoners" emblem because it would break the taboos of the time.
But again we cannot be 100% sure.

Woops! I forgot also toy mention the doghead of Hekate and there is pottery showing a coplete dog with red eyes.

As for the Doric clans you are right about spiral wave and key.

Kind regards
