Quote:Leather lining was at Dendra armorThere was leather EDGING on the Dendra panoply. The lining seems to have been linen, though Astrom isn't clear. Walpole seems to think that it wasn't lined at all.
Quote: Photo of one in a University of California exists in page 11 of Osprey "The Greek hoplite"Is this a photo of primary evidence or some artist's interpretation? Can you scan it?
When I talk about lining I am specifically takling about the material being fixed to the inside of the plate. If it isn't attached then we have a separate garment. What evidence is there to suggest even that this undergarment was ever made of leather?
