Serindia; Welcome back.

Since you enjoy saddles, Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire, pps 180 and 182 feature gold saddle front and back arch recovered from a woman's grave in Mongolia.

See Jeannie Davis-Kimble for a book full of examples.

The Golden Warrior of Kazakhstan, Scythian era, was a woman warrior.

There was a picture that was labelled "Dui Deng She", shooting level with the stirrup

Was this a mistake, or does this mean that the Chinese had stirrups by Han Dynasty?

Sorry, it is a misunderstanding. I utilized a name of Ming Dynastic archery manual to describe Han Dynastic tactic behavier. Obviously, in East Asia, archaeologists didn't find the stirrup before the 4 century AD.
