wow really nice artwork on the Vexillium... is it painted on or sewn in? The Vex found in Egypt might have had a decorative fringe on it but I'm wondering if it was ripped off? Has anyone ever found an intact fringe? Does anyone know what the fringes were actually made from? I'm thinking that if it involved braided gold thread or fine gold wire, it would look amazing on parade, and tempting to someone looking for ready loot. If so it would explain why attached fringes appear on monuments but is missing on this one. Perhaps it was torn off to be melted down. Just a thought anyway.
