Pelte/pelta

[hoplite14gr]

I found someone who makes wicker baskets for a living.
I am trying to choose between Thrakian moonshaped or Phokean roundshaped. Handle will be wicker porpax and antilavi and wife promished to put arround them leather from an old glove. I saw the picture from an old school book that has a kylix showing a naked guy with a Corinthian helmet javelines and pelt. Porpax and antilavi are visible and the guy wears grieves!
I was impressed by Dan's leather covering but I am thinking of pine raisin bleached layers of linen for mine. It will be like linothorax over the pelt and
emblems might be painted easier.
