It was seen in the episodes “Amphipolis under siege” and “Looking to the death eye” from season 5. The costume is almost complete, except the helmet and the upper armbands. The top, belt and kneeguards are made of cowhide leather, but the corset, skirt pieces, and sleeves appear to be made of ostrich leather using skin from the bird’s body and scaly legs. The costume has many laces to be adjusted but the result worth it.
