The documented object

The gallery presents the contemporary Archaeopolis piece in archive photographs 004. These photographs are the visual reference for your enquiry; the final specification is agreed individually.

Historical and design context

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Historical reference photo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 relief provides a Greek comparison for a protected torso, shoulder pieces and a lower fringe. The contemporary plate arrangement and ornament remain a separate design rather than a copy of the stele.
