Not my era, but those tortoise brooches are all hollowed, right? Which
argues for them being put over some convex body area.
Also, I came across this interesting link:

This reconstruction isn't what I would describe as provocative by

My first reaction is - that looks chilly! Why would you use all that
fabric to keep your bum warm and not your torso? It looks more
convincing with the shawl, but as Hanna said, the Valkyrie figure seems
to have something apron-like in front.
My husband has also commented that there is

I have to say I don't think I've

I'm not sure what you are saying but if you are saying that the tortoise
