The historical-world label identifies the inspiration and archive grouping of this contemporary design. It is not a claim that the complete piece reproduces a single excavated armour.
The Met — Warfare in Ancient Greece — further historical reading, not an identified exact prototype.
Historical reference photo
A documented comparison for the form, motif or construction — not a photograph of the product offered for sale.

The rows of overlapping plates provide a comparison for the broad-scale surface. This is a cross-cultural construction reference, not an Athenian prototype or evidence for the modern shoulder pieces and decoration.
