Linothorax design/construction

[salimbeti]

As well expained in the already linked web page the interpretation is not only based on the character design but also on the other elements described in the linear B tablet associated with this simbol.
So it seems that the simbol can't be anything!!! but very likely it represent a cuirass reinforced with bronze elements.

As I said: "another type of armour". Anything more specific is pure speculation.

Yes another type of armour but based on linear B descripton compoused by two bronze elements.
If we considered the diferencies between this armour simbol and the others (which reminds much more a Dendra style armour) and if considered that the simbols even if schematic were depicted accordingly the items general design (as well attested for the chariot ideograms).
The interpretations of a perishable material corselet reinforced with two embossed bronze elements (one in front and one on the back) it is not so speculative, maybe the shape or the general design could have been different, but the hypotesis if fully reasonable.
Always availabe to include better or "less speculative" reconstructive hypothesis
