The Armour Archive

In other words, I realize his arm might be too close to the body per the cast, and or hard to access with a barrier, but I was curious if anyone had any photos up under the lying body such that a view of any hinges or the like was visible on the upper arms. I found these, but theyre still not quite up under the arms enough for any real detail of the upper cannon hinges...

Notice the slight bulge in the upper cannon, ie, upper arm/bicep:

I've been digging around for good pictures of this piece too. From the shots I've been able to put together it looks as though the scultor took some short cuts on the arms.
