Comerus Gallus Romus expressed interest in my avatar. Here is my impression of Athena using that crestbox.

This is an alternate crest for the helmet (I had a lot of horsehair).

Exellent Madam.
Best impression of "Athena Promachos" I have seen so far. The Aegis on the shoulders is particulrly interesting. Kind regards

A whole goatskin was trimmed for the aegis (Ebay). The front has a small bronze Gorgon head . The snakes are small toy "realistic" semi-flexible hard rubber junkers that were stitched on with heavy thread. That didn't last. They are now attached with copper wire loops. I will look for a front view this weekend. The peplos is 100% linen. Lots of work - but I had fun. I'm looking for an artisan to teach me how to make an aspis with a wood turning machine. That's a long term project - vehicle insurance gets paid first!

Congratulations for the commitment.
The snakes on the Aegis appera on Athena Afea of the Aeginitans or Athena Promachos of the Athenians. Please see making a hoplon thread for advice and info. Depending on the shield device you choose you can reenanct Athena-(title) of whatever city state. Laudes madam. Kind regards

Thank you! I enjoyed the process, even when do-overs were required. The alternate paint style (Greek wave pattern) came about when I simply could not incise the pattern with any degree of control. The correct tools and jigs might have solved that problem, but it all worked out...
