Material is hardened leather, it's 88 cm long. Supposed to be the best preserved iece of leather armour found. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any further info.

.....I have come across that photo of the Scytian leather armour before. The long pieces at the waist are to allow for the typical scythian broad belt of metal plates ( see Rostovzeff, or Osprey "The Scythians" for example).
I have often wondered if the armour was 'wrap around' (note the ties,) or, pullover style ( as mentioned by Paul B.).....note the cloth (?)shoulders, above the square armholes, which imply this.The cloth 'backing' visible at the base of the 'skirt' also implies pullover to me.
The armour obviously had a yoke, now missing, to cover the shoulders ( see sources cited earlier), and so ( technically, at least) is a tube-and-yoke corselet, though of Scythian style and make, not greek.

Can any of our U.S. members contact the Met and find out more, particularly regarding the question raised regarding wrap-around/pullover?
