Moya Catherine Carey uses a silver-gilt plate (Sasanian period) Iran Bastan Museum 1275, Tehran (http://warfare.tk/6-10/Sassanid-Plate-Bastan-1275.htm), for the typical costume on Sasanian royal hunting plates:

It has the king sitting backwards on the horse. This is unusual as other Sassanid and post Sassanid plates have figures making Parthian shots mounted normally. For example:

Post Sasanian or Khorosanian Dish with hunting scene, 7th-9th century, Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg (http://warfare.tk/Persia/StPetersburg-Dish_with_hunting_scene.htm)
Did they ride facing backwards? Is Iran Bastan Museum 1275 plate indeed Sasanian? Does it have a better dating?
