Anyone seen this? Looks like a pretty exact reproduction of the piece that cropped up here from that Eastern European article. Is this the same one? He mentions the Leiden Museum.

I'd dig up the old thread, but I'm too lazy.

Cheers!

No, this is a different one. Those were in Lithuania, and Estonia, IIRC.

There was also a chest dredged up from the see off of Holland that had some leather armor, this might be what Chris copied.

There are also depictions of splinted leather here:
