    Can some one ID this for me. Its an LPS but dont know the name. It fits perfectly into a spot I was going to put a Digitata or a birdsnest but If this will fly where it is Ill probably keep it. This was freebie.

    Nah..not cabbage. Not a leather. Hard like an SPS but with a skin over these hard plates that stick out all over. Different. Sorry for not knowing the technical terms for things a little better.
