Thanks. I assumed that. I am trying to understand artists way of perception and creation, how and why they change object of their art. Picture is never photography. This bow thickening can be a good example. Maybe artists simply painted them thicker to be more visible. Or understanding matter they painted, they tried to give mighty saint warrior proper weapon for their strength. Or not understanding matter they painted, mentally mixed its width and thickness...
Examining works from different cultures and also work of modern artist who have never seen bow can be useful I think.
