Sergey,
great stuff! As usual, your attention to detail is what makes this an outstanding sculpt.
Like the closed quiver for the arrow shafts.
Some of the strapping too.
Ken,
The 'horo' was used to signify battlefield messengers, and was a lightweight bamboo frame, with a cloth over it.
Thanks for sharing, Sergey!

A bit more info on the Horo gleaned from various readings including the Armour Book in Honcho-Gunkiko. The Horo is an ancient addition to armour and seen on a number of very early illustrations of armoured warriors (see the middle pic posted by Sergey). It seems early on to have been a large piece of cloth attached at its four corners to cords which were then tied to the armour, the theory being that it would billow out as the rider gained speed. In the Edo period with a revival in interest in armour and attempts to copy older styles, attempts were made to reintroduce the Horo but with no-one knowing its exact function or purpose, basketwork supports were used to create the billowing effect seen in early pictures, although as far as I can tell no evidence exists that the originals had any such supports. Theories for its use range from identifying messengers (as noted above) and providing some sort of protection against arrows.
