Quote: At that pic seems as if another band were in the inner side, probably glued, marked by a clearer coloration of the leather.
What do you think?
I'd say yes, probably. Actually it may have been sewn on, can't say for sure, but there seem to be traces of holes on the left side at about the height of the lower of the 3 torn off straps. At least this was a quite common feature with the Mainz finds.
Cheers,
