Really marvelous modeling, love that detailed sagaris and akinakes.

There are actually depiction of horses with that type of headgear in battle, so we know it was used during combat.

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.
