This piece is indeed
wearable!

|
This partial suit of
armor is fashioned, in part, after classical European armor.
In this case, however, lead is used as the protective
material. Lead seems a 20th Century protective material, one
that shields from radiation and one that people have a fear
of due to toxicity. Stamped by hand into each scale is a
"NO" around which is stamped additional text, some of which
can be seen on the links from the above images. Bronze
elements aid in securing the lead platelets to the leather
sub-structure. Each has a "NO" as well.
