Tang Dynasty General 唐朝猛将

An homage to rhombus (rhombi?) and an apotheosis to a jobless but creative February.

8th century Tang dynasty general with his mount. His horse is covered almost completely in lamellar barding (horse armor) the general is dressed in heavy mingguang armor, including distinctive chestplates. On his head sits a high Tang period helmet with prominent cheek guards- a feature that would be adopted by samurai armor design in the 11th and 12th centuries. For weapons he carries a recurved composite bow, a large arrow case slung at his side, and a straight slashing sword (Tang Dao, or "Tang sword") that would become the progenitors of the katana.
