constructing and mounting a porpax

[Kineas]

The finished interior, less the four mounts for the interior hoplon or rope.



Today, I took the shield (still unfinished) to a school show for 16 year-olds in Newmarket. Ontario, where it was a huge hit. It weighs about 8 pounds so far, before the cover and the bronze edge are added. On Thursday, I meet with a bronze-smith who will do the edges. Then finish the canavas cover, paint, and display.

I msut say, this has been a project and a half, and at every step I learn another thing I don't know much about!
