The documented object
The gallery presents the contemporary Archaeopolis piece in archive photographs 004, 001. 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Historical reference photo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 rigid torso and shoulder protection can be compared with the Dendra panoply. The modern scale skirt and decoration differ from its broad lower plates.
