Although bronze and iron scales have been found in Egypt, body armor\u2014aforeign import\u2014was probably not commonly worn there. Two sets of armorappear in a presentation scene in the tomb of Kenamun at Thebes, and a cuirassof leather scales was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The ten scales (11.215.452a-j) were excavated from the palace of Amenhotep III, but their position, embedded in an enclosure wall, does not allow us to speculate as to who might have worn them. The scales would have been sewn to a linen or leather backing. Although they vary, they still might have constituted the same armor.Free picture Scale from Armor integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
