Bazuband (Islamic Armour)

Never seen one of these done in leather so figured I'd give it a try. Two separate pieces encase the forearm via a flexible leather 'hinge'. Cupped elbow guard sits nicely & doesn't seem to impede movement. Studs are purely decorative, everything held together with stitching. I dry brushed the stamping with gold acrylic as an afterthought - I think it looks pretty cool for a costume piece.

Nice work. The gold gives it a nice touch.
