Frontier cuirass c. 1720 believed Pueblo Indian in Spanish Style

[RSWORD]

Jim,

I am adding an example to continue the conversation. It is similar to the example you posted but also has noted differences. The differences I note is that the triangle decoration is an additional piece attached to the collar versus carved into the leather, the bindings are rattan, and it is layered leather. The similarities are that it opens at the side, it is a hardened leather and it has leather plates for the skirt. I can see the argument both ways. Is my example Spanish Colonial or an early Filipino armor based on the Spanish example?
