Real ☼«☼Bronze Brestplate☼»☼
« on: June 25, 2014, 03:04:32 pm »

So, I'm not entirely sure this is the right forum for this, but I thought people might be interested in a gorgeous example of real Masterwork quality crafts(dwarf/man)ship. This is a modern recreation of Agamemnon's curiass as described in the Iliad, but with the form dictated by archaeological finds from the supposed era of the real Trojan War.



(IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL)

Needs more engravings depicting battles with mighty beasts and cheese.
Until then it's not really ☼«☼Bronze Brestplate☼»☼, but more like ☼Bronze Brestplate☼.

Other than the smaller decorative patterns it also has a bunch of snakes on it, so there's definitely some «» in there :>

Those are the fanciest armour nipples I've ever seen.

On the item there is an image of John McCamera. John McCamera is taking a picture. The artwork relates to the taking of a picture of the Real ☼«☼Bronze Brestplate☼»☼ by John McCamera.

Its not a DF breastplate, look how it has pauldrons!  O.O  and a giblet cover.

breastplates in DF have a strict no-covering-anything-not-on-the-cheat-policy.
