Hello all. Could you possibly help me with this question?
When you look at the body armour on this statue

You see those stiff, rather short petal-shaped decorated pieces surrounding the man's body on the level of his hips and underbelly I guess. NOT the much longer, apparently less stiff straps which hang down and make the kilt-like part. Do you know the word in either English or Latin for those shorter petal-like things?
Thank you.
