Any thoughts on the new images by any one. It looks clear that it does have round metal plates covering it. And I am not sure they would be just fixed over plates below from the way it looks.
Looking at the photo of the wood carving it its interesting that the disks are below where there are normally plates. And also extend down the sleeve where there were not normally plates. At least from the coat of plates I have seen. This would make me think at least some are decorative or they were a form or armor of there own.
Can you tell me what Warlord book this picture is from? I have the 2004 version of Warlord Armies and this picture is not in it.

Is he wearing chainmail underneath(ie: the sleeves)? And what exactly were these brigandines made of? Was it leather with metal plates inside? Can you help me out with a detailed description of this particular type?
