Quote:What's about the armour of the Lykian1 warrior? It seems to consist of a piece for throat and shoulders and a skirt below the waist, the rest of the upper body seems to be naked. Or?

The lower half of the shield seems to have short extensions (feathers?), really strange.

His breastplate looks like an ordinary linothorax.
In Nick Sekunda's book on Persian army, there's a reconstruction of this warrior. According to him, this double-headed spear might be an example of 'spears of Lycian manufacture' mentioned by Herodotus.
