Tibetan Noble Cavalry ཨཱརྨོཨུརེད [吐蕃骑兵]

Rtakhrab Pai’ dpung (lit. “Armoured Horse Cavalry”) represent warriors drawn from the Sger Pa class. These nobles can afford to dress go chan gyon pa, or in the rare full body armour with steel helmets (rmog), as well as providing their chargers with the finest horse armour (rta khrab). Carrying long spears (mdung) a bow, and distinctive shields with an iron boss (sba phub) these warriors wear either lamellar armour or chainmail plates. In Buddhist art, peacock feathers are worn by certain warrior-deities (dharmapalas) as part of their helmet adornments and thus signify the elite status of these troops.
