I'm putting together a scale over leather thorax and I'll use this topic to post research and production photos.
Just to start, a friend--a professor from Bulgaria--just provided this scale photo from a Bulgarian journal. As I understand, these are 450 BC scales from Thrace. I was struck by how much they resemble what's visible on some 'High Classical" Attic red figure.
Sadly, as I have made 378 scales to another pattern, it's too late for me, although I might try these on the yoke, as per Achilles on the vase.
