No. Saka early nobles and probably other elites.

Somehow it seems to not have posted this... I really like the detail on the weapon... Is that the main weapon? The hook like thing?

No, second, it's a pickaxe also called saggaris.

Great to see that Saka heavy metal will make its way back into EB II. I love those pickaxes.

Maybe I'm a little bit late, but could you possibly share those pictorial sources/point us to the respective publications? I'm well aware that the wooden Pazyryk trappings show rather intensive 'wear and tear', but have never seen so far an really conclusive proof of their use in battle proper.
