SCALES the fast way

[Syr Ateas]

Hi there Paul!

I have some photos the museum has taken but am waiting for the actual items to be taken out of 'deep storage' so I can photograph and record the back for instance. Sadly some of it is missing, especially the pieces recorded as 'Bronze scale armour 'sewn onto' chainmail' (must have made it quite heavy?) which has me quite excited as an archaeologist - sorry, I don't get out much!! :?

I'll scan in what I do have over the next few days and post them in a new thread so I don't hijack this thread I shall place it in the Greek section where its pertinent.

I havent seen the photo you mentioned, but that might be because there is so much of interest on here I havent been able to read it all yet! Have you a linky?
I have seen (and have a selection of photos) of the replica suit of armour from the Ukrainian National museum made from Bronze (not leather) - is that the one you mean? I've posted it below being worn by a model, not a dummy :wink:


The woman should be wearing a belt - she isnt here as they don't know exactly what it looked like.
