Macedonian Leather Armour
Made to order · Price on request · Individually commissioned
Orange-brown scale-shaped elements, dark borders and a central face ornament define this leather armour interpretation. Seven outdoor archive photographs show the same design from different viewpoints.
Design & art direction: Georgios Katsos / Archaeopolis
Making: Dimitris Katsikis
The documented object
The gallery presents the contemporary Archaeopolis piece in archive photographs 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007. 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Historical reference photo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 layered scale construction offers a material-and-structure comparison for the overlapping leather elements. This Subeixi or Scythian object is not Macedonian and is not presented as the prototype of the workshop piece.
