As I promised,and as is the name of the thread (design/construction), some photos. Most of them are some of the most relyable. The four first examples are from the Parthenon. Unlike the Siphnian treasure, none of them is identical to another. Most probably different artists made each sculpture,having seen different examples and having different models in front of them. There are other linothorakes on the Parthenon, if someone has clearen pictures of these or the other linothorakes,I'd be very interested. The 5th century linothorax is very rare in sculpture.
