Completed Mounted Sotnik with banner-Kulikovo-1380

[Hitguy]

Mural from Church of the Assumption on Volotovo Field. As you can see - different than imaged Igor Dzis'.

On XIV th century warriors in Russia don’t use bascinet, pteruges. Horse saffron is phantasmagoric. Strange shield – iron boss from Mongolian shield, image from icon GREAT MARTYR DEMETRIOS OF THESSALONICA, second quarter – mid-15th c.

Igor Dzis illustrations beautiful, but non historical. Best choice - read historical literature, see artefacts, fresco, illuminated manuscripts.

Marc, most arms and armour in Kulikovo museum was reconstructed by Michael Gorelik. His replicas is moot. And i don't see on this photo bascinet, only horse armour.

some more pictures of the museum ...
but if everything in the museum is moot ...
Thanks for your historical contribution, I have learnt a great deal !
