It's tempting to see a connection with Saka themes: #1:form of the bow, clothing of the archer, and shooting a wolf that is threatinging a horse. #3: the pair of mountain ibex.

Darius was the Great King of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The kings of Nineveh were Assyrians, who had several capitals throughout their long history.

There were three kings called Darius. This looks like Darius I's seal.

Hi!

A special question for italian members:

I'm searching for some pictures about a wall painting from a castle in North Itali, somewhere by the Monte Baldo.
It was made in the 14. century, and it shows a battle between italians(neapolitans) and kipchacs (life-sized) from army of the Hungarian king, Louis the Great.

I need this for a a scool work about nomaidians in the Carpatian basin.

Hi!

I saw a picture of the Yrzi bow(oh, and I got the wallpaintings with the kipchacs), now I'm searching for the Lok Nor bow.
How did it look like?
