Leather Cuirass

[Magnus]

Ruben, paul is right. Why would the artist be so inconsistant? Not all cuirasses flared at the bottom, some were lined with folded brass/bronze edging as were the neck and arm holes. That sculpture shouldn't even be considered as a piece of evidence because it's so weak in presenting anything even remotely clearly.

Seriously, this topic about leather for muscled armour is getting so old. And there is no evidence at all that really, and clearly shows it was used in such a manner, without being extremely weak.

Heck, I hope no-one 2000 years from now bases our respective cultures on what they find in ART. They'll never know what we were about or how we acted, dressed and lived.

Let it go guys.
