    Default Armoury

    this is the pic of common Melayu-Jawa armour (just got the permission to use those images ), primarily consisted of chainmail, from that look, we could safely bet that they are envolved Indo-Saka armour (obviously, look at the plate postions!)

    they are almost uniform findings (with differences in engravings and helmets, melayu one often bare headed, or worn turkish style helmets (like qapaqulo or junior ghulam in Broken Crescent), while the Javanese ang bugis worn envolved thracian helmet (that found in wayang)




    IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES:
    - Majapahit and Pajajaran will worn those armour directly to their skin, a bit more "revealing" the muscles under (no shirt underneath) but will have more plate protection, Bintara could be in between, while melayu will use shirt under the armour, and their armour was those who depicted.

    The helmet pikkies, I didn't got the permission but as far as I could say, they are similar with the Junior ghulam or qapaqulo, for melayu, and those javanese will like wayang helmet.
