“Chinese leather armor”
I don’t think they are using this term correctly.... the whole basis of the article is that the armor was made in Mesopotamia and not China...they should instead be calling it either middle-easter, Mesopotamian, or neo-assyrian armor.
The only reason to call it Chinese is because of where it was geographically unearthed.

I think today that is considered racist.
