Not at all I want people who have the real expertise to shine ✨️
And yes I also see where the confusion comes from hence my reply. For sure when we see handles we can assume basket but even baskets have a great variety hahahaha 😆
Ah the Stephane hahaha 😆 I love these. They were of massive inspiration for my Circe design
And some of them are so dramatic indeed ans ah the female petassos never stops amusing me with some designs hahahaha 😆 I also love the combination with the headscarf that protects from.elements and sun and for modesty because it is soooo similar to the head scarves worn by later traditional costumes of 18th or 19th century (yay for historical and cultural continuity)
And the polos jndeed used for statues as well for the decorative connection with the roof (like the karyatides) but yeah those dramatic hats deserve more attention hahahaha 😆

Hehehehe although I believe @tchai-castor is more of an expert than I am in matters of ancient clothing however I am certain this is supposed to be some kind of basket instead of a hat! Hahaha
This is a scene in which Electra alongside with a servant, meets her brother Orestes and her cousin Pylades at the tomb of Agamemnon. The basket has loop-like handles from what you can see and given the funerary scene she is probably carrying the offerings for the grave.
