The documented object
The gallery presents the contemporary Archaeopolis piece in archive photographs 002, 003. 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.
Ephorate of Antiquities of Argolida — Dendra — 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Historical reference photo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 encircling bands and substantial torso protection recall the layered structure of the Dendra panoply. The decorated bands of the contemporary piece are not documented by this plain bronze example.
