Tough lady of the Megakeidae clan.
I saw so many accurate shield designs that I suspect we got an audience in Spain.
Kind regards

I like the shape of her Corinthian - the rounded profile of the cheek pieces.

I don't think they're very rounded... maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

The bottom curve of the cheek pieces. Compare it to, say, the helmet to her immediate left.

How could we make the pteruges for this high officer?
It's a kind of complete subarmalis or are they just sewed to the lorica?
Thanks

Differing opinions here.
Some artistic interpretations give argument to the "sewn on armor" theory.
Yet from dawn of time people found out that it is a good idea to "cushion" blows on metal. So the subarmalis is valid.
Probably you will not be able to persuade any side for the right of the other.
Kind regards
