Dendra panoply, Bronze Age military armor in Dendra, Greece
The Dendra panoply consists of fifteen separate bronze sheets forming a complete body protection system from neck to knees for Mycenaean warriors.
Swedish archaeologists discovered this bronze armor ensemble during the excavation of Mycenaean tomb number twelve in Dendra, Greece in May 1960.
The construction methods and materials of this armor demonstrate the advanced metalworking capabilities of Mycenaean civilization during the 15th century BCE.
Visitors can examine this complete set of bronze armor at the Archaeological Museum of Nafplion, located in the Peloponnese region of Greece.
The armor includes a hinged cuirass design with deep neck guard and separate plates connected by leather thongs for improved mobility during combat.
