A Roman outfit consisting of a helmet and cuirass, both made of sewn crocodile skin, possibly used for cultic activities. Found in Manfalut in Egypt, 3rd-4th century CE, now housed at the British Museum [2613×2500]

Frankly, it is annoying how much of our artefacts are essentially fashion and theatrical equipment. All that fetishism, leopard skins of Aztecs, now this. /s
On a serious note, I find it hilarious. I’m a fan of reconstruction – armour, tools, civil engineering, economy – and when you sift through museums, with time you realize how much of what we have is… this… not art… not functional clothes… just stuff to impress other people.
Probably for Sobek worship
